C++ Windows Command Prompt C1083 "Cannot open include file: 'Magick++.h' No such file or directory"

Question

It has been over 4 hours since I made any progress at all, and searched documentation and links and frankly I'm out of ideas. So here goes.

Background

• I am compiling a C++ program in command prompt
• I am new to command prompt and fairly new to c++
• I am writing this program in Notepad++ (not VS) but have VS installed so I can compile
• I am trying to utilize ImageMagick through Magick++, a C++ API wrapper for it.
• Main program directory
  • C:/Program Files (x86)/CameraSoftware/myCameraProgram.cpp
• Magick++ directory
  • C:/Program Files (x86)/ImageSoftware/Magick++/lib/Magick.h

Issues

• I am trying to use the Magick++ API and so I want to include it
• I am just using this in the .cpp file #include <Magick++.h>
• I've messed around with numerous solutions that has worked for others but to no avail
  • fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Magick++.h': No such file or directory

Problem

• How do I correctly compile and link to 'Magick++.h' correctly through command prompt?
• Currently it is compiled as such
  • cl myCameraProgram.cpp /EHsc /link DSLRRemoteLib.lib
  • DSLRRemoteLib is a lib file located in the same directory and /EHsc and /link is required for it to function

Other solutions

• For visual studio projects, I believe you can add external directory paths to the project with some play around with the configurations, but I do not have that luxury using notepad++, so I really need to know how to compile this properly
• I have tried hard coding in myCameraProgram.cpp #include "COMPLETE_DIR_PATH/Magick++.h" and it will compile, but Magick++.h has more includes within it(eg #include <Magick++/Include.h>), and it will bring up C1083 error for each of the header files.
  • I've also tried hard coding the filepaths within Magick++.h and same problems with the next level of header files. So this not a solution.
  • I've also tried to tack on an additional argument to the /link the file in the compile line
  • cl myCameraProgram.cpp /EHsc /link DSLRRemote "COMPLETE_DIR_PATH/Magick++.h" but doesnt work
  • Also tried cl myCameraProgram.cpp /EHsc /link DSLRRemote /l "COMPLETE_DIR_PATH/Magick++.h"
  • Along with multiple failed attempts.

Any help or advice or direction will be vastly appreciated, thanks!

======== EDIT ========

Thanks for the tips everyone.

• Using /I "C:\Users\ME\Documents\ImageMagick-6.8.1-10\Magick++\lib" I could link the #include "Magick++.h" successfully, but it doesn't look anywhere else for other files.
• It cant find #include which is in a subdirectory path "C:\Users\ME\Documents\ImageMagick-6.8.1-10\Magick++\lib\Magic++\Include.h".
• "Magick++/Include.h" also makes a reference to another subdirectory in the parent directory.

Progress

• My current command prompt compile line is:
• cl "C:\Users\ME\Documents\ImageMagick-6.8.1-10\Magick++\lib"
• Finds "Magick++.h"

Issue

• "Magick++.h" is a header file that includes 4 headers
• Upon compiling, it cannot find the other files which is in a subdirectory
• Is there a way to link ALL subdirectories and files under the path
• "C:\Users\ME\Documents\ImageMagick-6.8.1-10" in a compile by any chance?
