You need LV2 core >= 4.0 to be installed, as well as the atom,
context, URI map etc. extensions, and you need to run lv2config to
automatically create links to those headers (including the
lv2/lv2plug.in/whatever directories) in either your system-wide
include directory (e.g., /usr/include) or somewhere else at your
choice.
