Getting Error in installing cmph library in macOS Sierra 10.12.2

Question

I am trying to use the cmph library for the perfect hash function in my code and I am trying to run the simple example http://cmph.sourceforge.net/examples/file_adapter_ex2.c

I installed the library by downloading the cmph package from website and did

1. ./configure
2. make
3. make install

But when I try to run the aforementioned program, I get the following error.

fatal error: 'cmph.h' file not found

then I solved that problem by specifying the '/usr/local/include' path through -I flag but I get another issue as follows :

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Any help would be appreciated.
