libevdev include path

Hi there,

i am trying to play around with libevdev and uinput. regarding this i have problems with the includes. the headers are in /usr/include/libevdev-1.0/libevdev/*
so to include this in code obviously i need to

#include <libevdev-1.0/libevdev/libevdev.h>
#include <libevdev-1.0/libevdev/libevdev-uinput.h>

sadly in libevdev-uinput.h there is this include

#include <libevdev/libevdev.h>

which obviously can not work

[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/advanced_scrolling.dir/main.cpp.o
In file included from /home/naikon/Documents/dev/cpp/advanced_scrolling/main.cpp:8:0:
/usr/include/libevdev-1.0/libevdev/libevdev-uinput.h:30:31: fatal error: libevdev/libevdev.h: No such file or directory
 #include <libevdev/libevdev.h>
                               ^
compilation terminated.

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/advanced_scrolling.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:76: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

what should i do now? symlink /usr/include/libevdev-1.0/libevdev/ to /usr/include/libevdev/ ? change the include in libevdev-uinput.h from

#include <libevdev/libevdev.h>

to

#include <libevdev-1.0/libevdev/libevdev.h>

and why is this happening in the first place?

thanks in advance!
