How do I include header files from /usr/include in my cmake project?

Question

I have been scouring similar, existing Stack Overflow questions, but I am still clueless (this is my first time using cmake). I simply want to include headers that lie in subdirectories of /usr/include in my cmake project, but I obviously have no idea what I am doing :-) I am using the Bash shell and vim because I am cool like Mick Jagger.

Here is my CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

project (VoxelRPG)

set (VoxelRPG_VERSION_MAJOR 0)
set (VoxelRPG_VERSION_MINOR 1)

configure_file (
        "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/VoxelRPG.h.in"
        "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/VoxelRPG.h"
)

subdirs(src)

include_directories("/usr/include" "/usr/include/GL" "/usr/include/glm" "/usr/include/glm/gtc" "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src")

set(HEADER_FILES "/usr/include/GL/glew.h" "/usr/include/GL/glfw.h" "/usr/include/glm/glm.hpp" "/usr/include/glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp")

add_executable(voxel_rpg src/main.cpp ${HEADER_FILES})

The CMakeLists.txt in the src directory is one line:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

Here is the head of main.cpp (it shows the headers I want to use):

// Include GLEW
#include <GL/glew.h>

// Include GLFW
#include <GL/glfw.h>

// Include GLM
#include <glm/glm.hpp>
#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp>
using namespace glm;

#include "shader.hpp"
#include "texture.hpp"

The cmake operation does not throw an error:

chris@stupid:~/voxel_rpg$ cmake .
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/chris/voxel_rpg

However, the make operation spits out this error message:

Thanks in advance to the awesome people who help me!

I think you want to use -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lGL -lGLU -lm -lglut to add the OpenGL libraries. Secondly, you don't need to add those sub-directories to your include_directories (or even '/usr/include' as gcc should be searching there by default).
