Assuming that you want to compile and link against some external libraries, these are the steps you need:

• Open your project settings (right click on the project->settings) -> Compiler -> Include Paths, and set here the location where the compiler can find your .h files
• Open project settings->Linker->Libraries search path and place here the location where the linker can find the libraries (usually suffixed with .a, .dll, .so)
• Open the project settings->Linker->Libraries and set here the library name, for example libMyFirstLib.a;libMySecondLib.a etc
