Install Protobuf
this does not work:
sudo apt install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
also do not work:
follow this to install protobuf C++ compiler
If Bazel cannot be located, do following, reference this thread, we are using david's method
sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl gnupg
curl -fsSL https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg | gpg --dearmor >bazel-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo mv bazel-archive-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/bazel-archive-keyring.gpg] https://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list
bazel build :protoc :protobuf
sudo cp bazel-bin/protoc /usr/local/bin
Verify install correctly:
$ protoc --version
libprotoc 26.0
$ whereis protoc
protoc: /usr/local/bin/protoc
Also download the release here and move the include folder to /usr/local/include/google
DOES NOT WORK:
sudo apt install protobuf-compiler
Download the prebuilt file, copy the include/google folder to /usr/include
sudo cp -r ./include/google/ /usr/include/
Also need to download source, and copy the protobuf-25.1/src/google/protobuf/stubs folder to there
cd ~/Downloads/protobuf-25.1/src/google/protobuf/
sudo cp -r ./stubs/ /usr/include/google/protobuf/
FINALLY WORKS
sudo apt install autogen autoconf libtool
git clone https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf.git
cd protobuf
git checkout v3.6.1
i think this works up to 3.12.3, havent tried
instruction is here
git submodule update --init --recursive
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j8
make check
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig # refresh shared library cache.
