How do I add something to the library/include path?

I'm kind of lost installing https://github.com/JosephP91/curlcpp
I've compiled it successfully, but I don't know the exact steps to add what I assume to be libcurlcpp.a to the library path, and the .h files in the include folder to the include path such that I can invoke gcc cleanly. I've read about ldconfig but that does not seem to apply to this project, since we are supposed to statically link?

Is there a reason you don't install curlcpp from the AUR?

I am just curious about the process. I've looked through the pkgbuild and it seems to only deal with the .h files in the include directory; no mention of the .a file.

EDIT: I have just installed it from the AUR, and I can't build the example program.

Why can't you build it? Are you wearing handcuffs? Is your computer on fire?

If you show me what you are doing then I can begin to help you.

I am getting a "fatal error: curl_easy.h: No such file or directory" Perhaps the command line in the readme.md file is incorrect?

gcc accepts the "-I<path>" to use non-standard "Include" directories.

Please post the source code, the command you are using to compile it, and the error message.
