I am not familiar with makefile, here is my makefile

CC = gcc

TARGET = sample_client sample_server

CFLAGS += -g -I/usr/include
LDFLAGS += -g -lprotobuf-c -L/usr/lib

all:    $(TARGET)

$(TARGET):  lsp.o lspmessage.pb-c.o

%.o:    %.c
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

clean:
    rm -f *.o 
    rm -f $(TARGET)

when I run make -f Make, I get these errors.

**@**:./$ make -f Makefile
gcc -g -I/usr/include  -g -lprotobuf-c -L/usr/lib  sample_client.c lsp.o lspmessage.pb-c.o   -o sample_client

./lspmessage.pb-c.c:50: undefined reference to `protobuf_c_message_free_unpacked'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sample_client] Error 1

I do not know the reason. Thanks!

The C linker works so that only libraries that come after a file are searched.

Try reordering the line like this:

gcc -g -I/usr/include -g sample_client.c lsp.o lspmessage.pb-c.o -o sample_client -L/usr/lib -lprotobuf-c

You can first run that from the command line to see if the problem is fixed. After that, to fix your Makefile, see this question How to use LDFLAGS in makefile.
