The "usual" way on to linux, bsd, etc. do this is to use a tool called
pkg-config which assumes you installed all the libraries to a place
known place known to pkg-config. What platform are you on?

g++ cp1.cpp $(pkg-config --cflags gupnp-1.0) -o cpprova $(pkg-config
--libs gupnp-1.0 gssdp-1.0)

Which takes care of generating all the neccessary -I, -L and -l flags.
