Yes theres actually multiple ways of doing it. if you import the projet into the project generator you can change the addons that are included.
If you want to do it manually, you need to both include the files in, like the plugin you are using does, you can drag and drop the files in, and you dont even need to make the filters, its more for convenience that its organized that way.
Then you must include it in your project properties linked files, im actually updating my IDE at the moment so i cant give a picture but it should be in like c/c++->linker and then the additional includes section. Make sure to include all the folders with header files in it.
