Note, that above errors has nothing with linking. It is compile time
errors. Linking flags depends on how do you compile GDAL and its
version. If you have GDAL from CVS or daily snapshot and didn't switch
off libtool support (enabled by default) then you should use -lgdal
option. Otherwise -lgdal.1.1 helps you. ARAIR, 1.1.9 was released before
libtool migration.

You should use

#include <gdal_priv.h>

for C++ code.
