Protobuf can't be found via cmake - Installation problem via cmake

[marma...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone

I am trying to install a software which uses grpc, and which in turn needs protobuf.
Everything is installed via cmake.

cmake version 3.11.2
Protobuf version 3.5.1

I am receiving the following error when trying to install it:

CMake Error at cmake/protobuf.cmake:55 (find_package):

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Protobuf" with any

  of the following names:

    ProtobufConfig.cmake

    protobuf-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Protobuf" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set

  "Protobuf_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If

  "Protobuf" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has

  been installed.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  CMakeLists.txt:116 (include)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Has anyone seen this error already?
Any suggestions on how to solve it?

Many many thanks in advance!

I have solve it.

1.enter the "protobuf/cmake/" dir.

2.mkdir build. protobuf/cmake/build

3.cmake ..

4.make && make install

then the proobuf.cmake config will be installed in cmake's dir.

Hey..I dont have a "protobuf/cmake/" dir. Do I just create a new folder in the protobuf dir and proceed?

I used this command to install protobuff on my linux mint OS: "sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler"...

Am I supposed to install in a different way or do something else?

you can 

sudo find / -name cmake | grep protobuf

find it (you download sourcce file at first)

i'm not good ai English.
