using cmake :)

if you don't want to, you can call pkg-config --libs "foo" if foo provides a pc file, or by finding the library location and call -l with -Ldirectorynonstandard

if lib is stored in /lib/triplet/privatetool/libfoo.so

you can link it with -L/lib/triplet/privatetool -lfoo

but you need to have the required build-dependencies of the -dev packages installed.

cheers,
