My environment is Fedora 21, i play around with hello tutorial from http://www.cogl3d.org/hello.html, it shows:
Building the example
If you save the above code to a file named hello.c then you can compile the example as follows:
gcc -o hello hello.c
pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl2 glib-2.0
but where can i find cogl2 library ?
If i doesn't include cogl library:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ gcc -o hello hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`
hello.c:1:23: fatal error: cogl/cogl.h: No such file or directory
#include <cogl/cogl.h>
^
compilation terminated.
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
i tried dnf search cogl but there's only cogl, no such thing cogl2:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ dnf search cogl
[sudo] password for xiaobai:

[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
I also search for cogl.h, no such cogl2 too:
[xiaobai@xiaobai yum]$ dnf provides */cogl.h

[xiaobai@xiaobai yum]$
I can't use pkg-config to find neither cogl nor cogl2:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl2 cogl
Package cogl2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cogl2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cogl2' found
Package cogl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cogl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cogl' found
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
So i simply tried cogl:
$ gcc -o hello hello.c
pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0-I/usr/include/cogl/
, it shows a lot of error messages:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ gcc -o hello hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` -I/usr/include/cogl/

Any help is much appreciate.
[UPDATE] i've tried @CYB3R solution but still no luck:

First step, recognize it missing type name CoglOnscreen:
Now i know CoglOnscreen supposed to be located somewhere, so i tried search "CoglOnscreen" keyword inside include dir:
The last line above shown that "cogl-onscreen.h" have CoglOnscreen defined. So i search for cogl-onscreen.h:
vi /usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl.h and search for "cogl-onscreen.h" keyword:
On the top got "#if defined (COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API)". So now i know i have to give it COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API defined in order to include cogl-onscreen.h.
Search again with "COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API" as keyword:
That's the end, i need to add -D COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API:
Available options for pkg-config can be figure out by autocomplete:
