information about xcode and SCTP

[william86370]

after installing SCTP_NKE on MacOS 10.13 I was trying to import <netinet/sctp.h> and after hours of trying to understand why it wouldn't compile I finally figured out that Xcode pulls its libraries from a different location then the systems. if you go into Xcode by right-clicking and showing contents or by going to "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr" you can see the files it uses to compile. after adding socket.h to xcode's "/usr/include/sys/" and sctp.h to xcode's "/usr/include/netinet/" and sctp_uio.h to xcode's "/usr/include/netinet/" and libsctp.dylib to xcodes "/usr/lib/" then going into xcode and adding the library to the linked library it was able to compile my project using <netinet/sctp.h> hopes this helps anyone having the same issue as i have had
