Include protobuf tools #2725

Open tooomm opened 6 years ago

tooomm commented 6 years ago

Currently, appveyor has no build-in support for protobuf, a common option for data interchange.

Protocol Buffers (a.k.a., protobuf) are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data.

Any plans and interest in adding this to the images?

why?

tooomm commented 6 years ago

I can assume that many include it manually in their builds as they depend on it.

It would make builds and their configuration with caching and maintaining easier if it would be included already. Just an idea, no clue how commonly it's actually used...

OK, thanks for clarifying that.

@tooomm i use protobuf serialization in my project and I need a protoc for generating sources from proto files. I install protoc like that:

install:
    - choco install -y protoc

Sure, you can also install protobuf via vcpkg...

But I'm requesting to include it in the provided images as it might be very popular.
