try -ldiscord instead, I'm just a random guy observing this project so I don't know if I'm correct.

This project is very dead so I have no idea and can't guarantee anything will work, but try running make lib first and make sure that libdisccord.so is generated and ends up somewhere ld can find it (you can add a search directory for it to look in with --library-path=<dir>).

wow I don't expected the owner's reply!

[SergeyMC9730]

after compiling some libraries I compiled client_connect.c using tcc. But I can't run program because:

dogo@The-PC:~/DiscordC/test$ ./client_connect_test 
./client_connect_test: symbol lookup error: /lib/libdisccord.so: undefined symbol: lws_extension_callback_pm_deflate
dogo@The-PC:~/DiscordC/test$

You should try using gcc instead first

P.S. I turned on LWS Extensions

Same problem:

P.S. I turned on LWS Extensions

If you built LWS with LWS_WITHOUT_EXTENSIONS=Off then that error shouldn't occur. You can check if the libwebsockets.a that you built has it properly with objdump -t libwebsockets.a and look for lws_extension_callback_pm_deflate. If it's missing then you need to reconfigure how you're building libwebsockets.

If it's there, then try putting it in the ../lib folder that you're pointing to with -L. If that still doesn't work then try running gcc with -l:../lib/libwebsockets.a, or with -l: plus an absolute path to that file. (In lib/Makefile)
