NDI6 on linux not recognized by UG autogenerated.

I am testing NDI6 on Ubuntu. It fixes some issues with 10bit video. But it doesn't seem to be recognized by UG autogen.

checking for Processing.NDI.Lib.h... no

administrator@:~$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 administrator administrator 15 Jun 24 16:58 /usr/local/lib/libndi.so -> libndi.so.6.0.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 administrator administrator 15 Jun 24 16:58 /usr/local/lib/libndi.so.6 -> libndi.so.6.0.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 administrator administrator 26607936 May 6 07:00 /usr/local/lib/libndi.so.6.0.1

I see what the issue is. There are 2 different sets of instructions for Linux install in the wiki.
This one does not have the sudo cp -r NDI\ SDK\ for\ Linux/include/* /usr/local/include step. https://github.com/CESNET/UltraGrid/wiki/Syphon,-Spout-and-NDI

while this one does.

I understand the point but actually there is a point - the library mentioned in the first link is needed as a run-time dependency. On contrary, the headers (and only the headers) are needed for compilation.

I've slightly modified the text, cross-linked the pages and suggested to install (optionally) both libs and includes in both places. But I believe that the instructions in both places are appropriate - for compilation it is clear. The run-time instructions are, however, also required for Linux, because (compared to macOS and Win), there is no common place (macOS - /Library/NDI ...) or environment variable with that (_NDI_RUNTIME_DIRV6 in Windows) where to look up for the library.
