dbus - how to set include paths

Question

On my system dbus headers are placed in /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/ and dbus-arch-deps.h is other location (what seems to be strange): /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h In my program I include #include<dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h>but in every header file which include others path looks like this: #include<dbus/xxx.h> I can copy dbus-arch-deps.h to /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/ but how to fix paths in dbus headers ?

Your system likely has pkg-config installed.

g++ $(pkg-config --cflags dbus-1) main.c

Pkgconfig contains a database of linker/compiler/etc. flags that are required to use specific libraries. See man pkg-config for more info.
