You need to use the following guide for what flags to pass to g++.
All compilations need these flags,
Compile Flags: -I/usr/include/libvcvideo Linker Flags: -lvcvideo `pkg-config gmodule-2.0 --libs`
If you are using effects, you need these additional flags.
Compile Flags: `pkg-config gmodule-2.0 --cflags`
Lastly, if your version was compiled with libsigc++ you need this flag:
Compile Flags: -DSIGCPP
So an application needing effects and built with libsigc++ needs...
Compile Flags: -I/usr/include/libvcvideo `pkg-config gmodule-2.0 --cflags` -DSIGCPP Linker Flags: -lvcvideo `pkg-config gmodule-2.0 --libs`
