Precompiled Version of probuf for VS2017

[Frank Willen]

Hi,

I want to use the protocol buffers for a mixed solution (C+, C#, both in VS2017). Where can I download precompiled libs, headers and the protoc.exe? Or is it neccessary to build the probuffers for everyone?

Thanks for your support?

Protoc is available for multiple OSes here: https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/tag/v3.5.1

Note sure about pre-compiled libs; for Java, they're on mvnrepository; for C# they're on NuGet, etc.

Hi Marc,

many thanks for your reply. I already found the versions for different languages on github but didn't found a way to use these directly. But this can be based on my ignorance of probuffer ;-).

Actually I would proceed this way:

1.: download and extract protobuf-all-3.5.1.zip

2.: Generate Makefile with CMake

3.: Generate Protoc.exe, libs and Headers with <nmake.exe >

4.: test the build with <nmake.exe Check>

5.: generate with <nmake.exe install>

6.: Create Proto-File and translate it into code with protoc.exe

7.: C++: include generated files and headers from install-Folder

8.: C#: include generated files and select the correct version of protobuffer in NuGet.

Instead of steps 1 - 5 I only want to download a zip-file with Protoc.exe, the libs and headers for C++ and want to proceed with step 6. In C# this is possible (NuGet). Is there any way in C++ I don't know?

Regards,

Frank

Hi Frank

One option might be to use Microsoft's vcpkg package manager for Visual C++ (https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg). That does steps 1-5 for you (once you've done the couple of steps of installing vcpkg...). If you're using other open source C++ libraries, they might be available through vcpkg as well, giving you a consistent process for third party libraries...

Hi Stuart,

I will take a look at vcpkg and decide, which way we will proceed. 

Thank you
