To tell the compiler to search for includes in /usr/local/include (besides
the standard /usr/include), use the following in your compile command:
-I/usr/local/include
To tell the linker to search for libraries in /usr/local/lib (besides the
standard /usr/lib):
-L/usr/local/lib
You can add these to the CFLAGS variable in /etc/make.conf to have them
used automatically in a Makefile.
Just remember, you'll also need to specify any local libraries to link
against, using the -l switch. For example, to tell the linker to use
libfoo.a in /usr/local/lib:
-L/usr/local/lib -lfoo (notice that both the leading "lib" and any
extensions are not used)
Hope this helps.
