project-filename.h is generated by running the idl compiler to output 
the C bindings. You will need these as well as the files output in -lcpp 
since the C++ bindings use the C bindings.

The easiest way to get the compiler flags right to find everything is to 
use pkg-config:

CPPFLAGS+=`pkg-config ORBit-2.0-cpp --cflags`
LOADLIBES+=`pkg-config ORBit-2.0-cpp --libs`

You'll need to set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH to ensure you find the 
ORBit-2.0-cpp package (ORBit-2.0-cpp.pc).
