Can you tell us the content of "lib"?

It seems is looking for db-4.7, which should be "libdb-4.7.a" or
"db-4.7.lib"
(and similar for other versions)

I'm not familiarized with the packaging of BDB so cannot say from
here.

Seems it offers too many combinations for BDB.

Please include the pages/URLs where you got all the packages (bdb
extension and bdb binaries) so I can replicate the same environment
here.
