Include OpenSSL library from Brew in Xcode 8 project

Question

So I have this new iMac with macOS Sierra 10.12.5. I installed Xcode 8 and brew. Then I installed openSSL via brew:

brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl

But --force no longer works. Apparently I need to set some flags according to brew info openssl

For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

So the question is where do I put these flags in Xcode ?

[Xcode what's the difference between “Other Linker Flags” vs “Other_LDFLAGS”](https://stackoverflow.com/q/13022084/608639), [Set “OTHER_LDFLAGS” through command line](https://stackoverflow.com/q/20947969/608639), [Where to put makefile flags in a Xcode project?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/13449915/608639), [Using OTHER_LDFLAGS with command line](https://stackoverflow.com/q/25402740/608639), [What is correct way to load zlib via LDFLAGS in a Makefile](https://stackoverflow.com/q/10060938/608639), etc. — jww, Jul 14 '17 at 19:30

In fact，by setting

xcode->targets->build settings->other linker flags

to

-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

and setting

xcode->targets->build settings->

header search path to

/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

the xcode will work for you successfully.

for my setting.

Header search path:
