C++, can't access included header files from so library - c++

Question

I try to include my self built .so library in the test.cpp file.
When I try to make the test.cpp file I get this exception:
root#airdrop:/home/pi/naza-interface/examples# make
g++ -c test.cpp
test.cpp:31:35: fatal error: naza_interface_manual.h: No such file or
directory
#include "naza_interface_manual.h"
^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:5: recipe for target 'test.o' failed
make: *** [test.o] Error 1
The Makefile for test.cpp looks like that:
output: test.o
g++ -L. -lnazainterface -o test test.o
test.o:
g++ -c test.cpp
clean:
rm -f *.o
test.cpp just includes the library.
#include "naza_interface_manual.h"
The library contains two files, naza_interface_manual.h and naza_interface_manual.cpp. The library's makefile looks like that:
libso: naza_interface_manual.o pca9685.o
g++ -fPIC -L/usr/local/lib -shared naza_interface_manual.o
pca9685.o -lbcm2835 -o libnazainterface.so

Answer 1

Your Makefile doesn't install the header file. In fact, it also installs the shared object in a non-standard location: /usr/local. You want the library to go into /usr/local/lib and you need the header file installed in /usr/local/include.
Your Makefile is not consistent with conventional rules: You have no all rule, you are creating the library directly in the installation directory, instead of calling /usr/bin/install... I suggest you look into "proper" Makefile layout, if you want to distribute this. Users expect a lot of things from the Makefiles you give them; there are de-facto standards to follow.
If you want to use the library without having installed it, you need to provide the compiler the relevant include directive in your test.o: target; something like -Ipath/to/your/header.

Answer 2

Your compilation doesn't give the compiler the include path to find the header.
Instead, specify a base location and add the path to the compile. Otherwise if you can change the naza interface library, its install target should install the headers to a system (or $PREFIX/include) location.
test.o:
g++ -I$(NAZA_INTERFACE_LIB)/src/ -c test.cpp
