How do I include a path to libraries in g

Question

I am trying to include the path to extra libraries in my makefile  but I can t figure out how to get the compiler to use that path   so far I have   g   -g -Wall testing cpp fileparameters cpp main cpp -o test   and I want to include the path to   data      lib   because testing cpp includes files from that library   Also  I m on a linux machine   EDIT  Not a path to a library   Just to files that were included   My bad

To specify a directory to search for  binary  libraries  you just use -L  -L data      lib  To specify the actual library name  you use -l  -lfoo     links libfoo a or libfoo so   To specify a directory to search for include files  different from libraries   you use -I  -I data      lib  So I think what you want is something like g   -g -Wall -I data      lib testing cpp fileparameters cpp main cpp -o test  These compiler flags  amongst others  can also be found at the GNU GCC Command Options manual   3 16 Options for Directory Search
