protoc is an undocumented prerequisite #289

Closed foxyseta closed 2 weeks ago

protoc seems to be a necessary prerequisite for the build. Should this be documented somewhere?

I think we can add it to the readme.

Same for pearl actually, right?

Indeed, we are building openssl because it is used in sqlcipher as crypto library, and for that we need perl. It is unfortunate, but the only way not to require it is to require openssl (or other cryptographic backend being installed). I will add it to the readme.
