Where are the X11 libraries stored?

I just started teaching myself XLib, and I'm trying to figure out where everything is located. I've found the header files to be located at /opt/X11/include (I'm using MacOS if that's relevant), but I have no idea where I should tell gcc to look for the actual libraries. I know they're somewhere in /opt/X11/lib, but there are so many subdirectories I don't know where to look. Specifically, I'm trying to find the library file(s) associated with X11/Xlib.h. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

On linux the library is libX11.so (it might be a link e.g. libX11.so -> libX11.so.6.3.0) and it is under the directory /usr/lib64.
