Unable to compile

[manno]

I'm trying to build mirrorbits, but run into an error. Doesn't matter if I do it on Ubuntu or in Docker:

Step 6/9 : RUN mkdir /srv/repo /var/log/mirrorbits &&     cd /go/src/github.com/etix/mirrorbits &&     make install PREFIX=/usr

Try this. Edit the Makefile, and modify the protoc section as follows:

protoc:
     go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
     git -C ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/golang/protobuf checkout v1.2.0
     go install github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
     protoc -I rpc rpc/rpc.proto --go_out=plugins=grpc:rpc

[manno]

Thanks, with 1.2.0 I can build again!

Try this. Edit the Makefile, and modify the protoc section as follows:

protoc:
     [snip]

I had to change the spaces in it to tabs.

[manno]

Also the make target didn't work for me the second time, because go get -u didn't like the checkout.

The provided solution doesn't seem to have fixed my build. I still get a number of errors like this:

rpc.proto:65:5: "google.protobuf.Timestamp" is not defined.
