If you don't have it then perhaps you should consider installing it from its package. Try something starting with `mesa` and ending with `-dev`.

A:
You should not need to mention their location explicitly in your Makefile since they should be in the standard library search path (probably in /usr/lib).
Like sisis wrote you should just need to add -lGL to the linker flags to link against libGL.so which might actually come from different sources: mesa or some fancy graphics card driver.
