How do I include a path to libraries in g++

In your MakeFile or CMakeLists.txt you can set CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS as below:

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -I/path/to/your/folder")

To specify a directory to search for (binary) libraries, you just use -L:

-L/data[...]/lib

To specify the actual library name, you use -l:

-lfoo  # (links libfoo.a or libfoo.so)

To specify a directory to search for include files (different from libraries!) you use -I:

-I/data[...]/lib

So I think what you want is something like

g++ -g -Wall -I/data[...]/lib testing.cpp fileparameters.cpp main.cpp -o test

These compiler flags (amongst others) can also be found at the GNU GCC Command Options manual:

• 3.16 Options for Directory Search

Alternatively you could setup environment variables. Suppose you are using bash, then in ~/.bashrc, write

C_INCLUDE_PATH="/data/.../lib/:$C_INCLUDE_PATH" ## for C compiler
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/data/.../lib/:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" ## for Cpp compiler
export C_INCLUDE_PATH
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH

and source it with source ~/.bashrc. You should be good to go.
