protoc can't import proto file in the same directory

[Vetch]

I copied all the files in https://github.com/helium/proto/tree/master/src to my local machine, when i try to generate code for my golang project, protoc throw some error.

protoc --version: libprotoc 3.21.4, downloaded from github

language i am using: Go

steps to reproduce:

working path:

$ pwd 

/c/User/Desktop/test/src

proto files in this path:

$ ls 

blockchain_block.proto 

blockchain_block_v1.proto 

blockchain_txn.proto  ......

protoc cmd i tried:

$ protoc --go_out=/c/User/Desktop/Helium/hnt/ ./blockchain_block.proto
$ protoc --proto_path=. --go_out=/c/User/Desktop/Helium/hnt/ ./blockchain_block.proto
$ protoc --proto_path=/c/User/Desktop/test/src --go_out=/c/User/Desktop/Helium/hnt/ /c/User/Desktop/test/src/blockchain_block.proto

protoc output:

blockchain_block_v1.proto:21:12: "blockchain_txn" is not defined. blockchain_block.proto:4:1: Import "blockchain_block_v1.proto" was not found or had errors. blockchain_block.proto:7:17: "blockchain_block_v1" is not defined.

I can compile most proto file in https://github.com/helium/proto/tree/master/src, except for blockchain_block.proto and blockchain_block_v1.proto. 

How do i fix this?
