Normally you should have a target which represent your program or your 
library. Then, I think you can add source files by selecting 
Project->Add source in the main menu. You should get a dialog where you 
can select the target and add source files. I'm not completely sure it 
was working with Anjuta 3.0 but it's working fine with Anjuta 3.2.


Else, if these headers are part of a library, the normal situation is to 
use pkg-config. It uses a file with .pc extension located in 
/usr/lib/pkg-config coming with each library. This file describes the 
options needed to use the library. You just add to this library to your 
project using Project->Add library and the symbol-db plugin will check 
all headers. This will take care of adding the required include path to 
CPPFLAGS and the library to LIBADD variable, so don't need to do 
anything else.

If the library you use, doesn't provide a .pc file, you can write one 
yourself looking at existing one. It's a simple text file which 
described a few options to use the library.
