glib.h make error. fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory

Question

for solution i searched on the Internet. i added the output of the command
pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 that is -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include to the make file like GCC = -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -lglib-2.0

but still an error glib.h: No such file or directory

here is my make file

ROOTDIR = $(CURDIR)
#-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include  include makefiles/platforms.mk

ZLIBDIRS = zlibrary/core zlibrary/text zlibrary/ui APPDIRS = fbreader  GCC = -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include  -lglib-2.0
#gcc -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include
#gcc pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0  all:  @for dir in $(ZLIBDIRS) $(APPDIRS); do \        if [ -d $$dir ]; then \             cd $$dir; \             if ! $(MAKE); then \
                exit 1; \           fi; \           cd $(ROOTDIR); \        fi; \   done;

install: all do_install

do_install:     @for dir in $(ZLIBDIRS) $(APPDIRS); do \        if [ -d $$dir ]; then \             cd $$dir; make $@; cd $(ROOTDIR); \         fi; \   done

do_install_dev:     @for dir in $(ZLIBDIRS); do \       if [ -d $$dir ]; then \             cd $$dir; make $@; cd $(ROOTDIR); \         fi; \   done

clean:  @for dir in $(ZLIBDIRS) $(APPDIRS); do \        if [ -d $$dir ]; then \             cd $$dir; make $@; cd $(ROOTDIR); \         fi; \   done

distclean: clean    @rm -rvf *.tgz *.tar.gz *.ipk *.deb *.prc *.exe
*.log *.dsc *.changes *.rpm     @rm -rf tmp packages packages-nonGPL fbreader-*

please get me out of this. Thanks in advance.

You may probably just need the -dev package containing glib.h: libglib2.0-dev

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

http://packages.ubuntu.com and its Search the contents of packages form can help finding such development packages when you only know the header filename.
