Basic compiling flags when working with software that does not install
into default search paths:
cc -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -o example example.c -lGeoIP
   [ CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS  ] [ LDFLAGS      ]    [ PROG] [ SRCS  ] [LDADD]

The brackets above refer to variable names in /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk
which can be used by make(1) on stock FreeBSD. Example Makefile:

PROG=example
SRCS=example.c # optional, if not specified will assume ${PROG}.c
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
LDADD=-lGeoIP

.include <bsd.prog.mk>
