Help compiling program with cairo

[talguy]

I am trying to compile on of my object files that use cairo of my program. I keep getting an error saying cairo-features.h and cairo-deprecated.h were no found. I checked out the usr/include/cairo directory and they are indeed in there. Does anyone know what would be causing this error. i am compiling my code using this command: g++ -c AnalogGauge.cpp. Do i need to use a different compiler command. Sorry if this is something stupid I am very new to linux (ubuntu) and I am using it as our base platform for my senior engineering project. I did install cairo using this command sudo aptitude install libcairo2-dev.

u need to tell the compiler where to find the include files i think its -I/path/to/included/file

I always use autotools as they will generate a proper configure script maybe u should look into it?

ok thanks.

I started to make a makefile but could nt finish it until I knew all the right compiler commands I needed.
