Here, this is problem. Have you tried to add this below in your Makefile  
yet?

=====================================
CONFIGURE_ENV=	CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
		LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
=====================================

After you add, you should see the change from 'no' to 'yes' and extra  
details of lines related with this. An example of before and after on  
editors/gedit:
