I have successfully built libwebsockets based on instructions found in the README. When I try to build mosquitto 1.4.2 (based on instructions found here) with websockets enabled, I get the following error. 

/usr/lib/gcc/i586-poky-linux/4.8.2/../../../../i586-poky-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lwebsockets
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The problematic line is BROKER_LIBS:=$(BROKER_LIBS) -lwebsockets, in config.mk. I've tried both of the following, giving it the full path to the .so file: 

BROKER_LIBS:=$(BROKER_LIBS) -l~/libwebsockets/build/lib/libwebsockets.so
BROKER_LIBS:=$(BROKER_LIBS) -l/home/root/libwebsockets/build/lib/libwebsockets.so

I'm working on an Intel Edison.

According to the following link you have to use a released version of libwebsockets. Otherwise the Mosquitto compiling would fail.
