The intro man page on using bsd extensions (ie, TCP/IP) states that
when compiling such programs you should use the command line option
-I/usr/include/bsd when compiling.  This extends the search path for
include files to the bsd subtree.  Try 'man 3 intro' for more information.
It is the last page that comes up.
