I had some problems installing gcld3 on windows (python 3.8). Simple pip install gcld3 didn't do the trick. But I've found a way to install it.

  1. install vcpkg: https://vcpkg.io/en/getting-started.html.
  2. use vcpkg to install protobuf: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/README.md 
    >vcpkg install protobuf protobuf:x64-windows
  3. add a folder with protoc.exe to PATH environment variable. It should be located in \installed\x64-windows\tools\protobuf inside vcpkg folder
  4. locate port_def.inc file. It should be in \installed\x64-windows\include\google\protobuf folder inside vcpkg installation
  5. set INCLUDE variable to a folder, that contains google/protobuf/port_def.inc. \installed\x64-windows\include\ inside vcpkg installation. 
    set INCLUDE=[...]\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\include
  6. locate libprotobuf.lib file. It should be in \installed\x64-windows\lib inside vcpkg folder.
  7. set LIB environment variable to that location. 
    set LIB=[...]\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib
  8. (if issue #91 not fixed) copy libprotobuf.lib to protobuf.lib
  9. run 
    pip install gcld3
  10. and.. there still some issues with installed gcld3...

Were you able to use gcld3 properly?

After following your way to install it. I run into the following error:

from .pybind_ext import *
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing pybind_ext: The specified module could not be found.

It seems I cannot even import gcld3. 😞
