Writing makefiles for headers outside 'usr/include'

[testlaster@gmail.com (testlaster)]

Alright soo I want to access a piece of allocated memory through the PCI 
device which is PLX9054 chip.
All I really need to do is gain access to it and dump the data from it 
into a file.
Now the user space one would have been nice if I could use it but the 
PCI.H in user space dev folder " /usr/include " is really limiting
OR I just dont know how I can do it with only the 8 or so functions 
given to me there. Also I think permissions might be a problem in user 
space.

Because as far as I know accessing a PCI devices Memory you need to 
populate a struct with and give it a handle and then pass it on to 
mmap() if im not mistaken.
But I cant even get to try and code it cause at the moment I cant even 
seem to get the environment/makefiles set up correctly to be able to 
link all of the needed .H
  files and libraries in.
