SetVars should contain both; OSLibInclude: is commented as for backwards
compatibility, and OSLib: as being the presently preferred option.

You want to add OSLib: to your include path (such as by adding -IOSLib: to
your compile parameters -- at least with GCC).  Then access the headers in
the form

  #include "oslib/header.h"

in your source.

I'll leave the rest to someone who has used DeskLib.
