Link a graphics library in Borland C ++ 3.1

Question

I want to use the graphics library in a DOS application. I add #include <graphics.h>to the source file and create the application using bcc:

bcc -3 -ms  -P -IC:\BC3\INCLUDE -LC:\BC3\LIB AMtest.c ExtMem.ASM 

However, I get link errors:

Error: Undefined symbol _outtext in module amtest.c
Error: Undefined symbol _moveto in module amtest.c

Error: Undefined symbol _settextjustify in module amtest.c

graphics.liblocated in the folder c:\bc3\lib. How to link a graphics library?
