I am new to GNOME world and I am currently trying to contribute to
gnome-control-center. The problem is that I need to use some libraries that
are not included anywhere else in the project and I don't know how where
and how to include them in configure file and Makefile, as I have never
worked with such a big program.

The source file used to generate configure is called "configure.ac". The
program used to generate configure from configure.ac is autoconf.

The source file used to generate Makefile is called "Makefile.am". The
program used to generate Makefile from Makefile.am is automake. (Slightly
simplified explanation.)

So I suppose suitable documentation would be "info autoconf", and
"info automake".
