Using X11 in OSX 10.8.3 : “ld: library not found for -lX11”

Question

I have the following makefile:

PROG    = draw
CFLAGS  = -w -s -O2 -ansi -DSHM
XLIBS   = -lX11 -lXext -lXmu -lXext -lXmu -lXt -lXi -lSM -lICE
LIBS    = -framework OpenGL
INCLS   = -I/usr/X11R/include -I/share/mesa/include
LIBDIR  = -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib
#source codes
SRCS = draw_main.cpp $(PROG).cpp
#substitute .cpp by .o to obtain object filenames
OBJS = $(SRCS:.cpp=.o)

#$< evaluates to the target's dependencies,
#$@ evaluates to the target

$(PROG): $(OBJS)
    g++ -o $@ $(OBJS)  $(LIBDIR) $(LIBS) $(XLIBS)

$(OBJS):
    g++ -c  $*.cpp $(INCLS)

clean:
    rm $(OBJS) 

Every time I try to run it, I get the following error:

ld: library not found for -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Can someone please help me find out where the library for X11 is supposed to be in OSX 10.8.3? To me, this looks correct.

Thanks in advance.

Have you installed XQuartz, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293 ?

By default there is no X11 on Mountain Lion.
