Protobuf installation on Linux

[propcoder]

First issue: curl not found AFAIK can be solved easily by sudo apt-get install curl

~/protobuf$ ./autogen.sh Google Test not present. Fetching gtest-1.5.0 from the web... ./autogen.sh: 22: ./autogen.sh: curl: not found

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; perhaps it is corrupted? Possible reason follows. bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

Second issue can be solved by: curl -L https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/release-1.5.0.tar.gz | tar zx mv googletest-release-1.5.0 gtest Found on https://github.com/datacratic/protobuf/issues/2 Google Test not present.

If you are using Debian Jessie or newer you can also install the protobuf package from the distro:

sudo apt install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

Or a newer version of Protobuf in general, I just uploaded a patch that fixes problems with Protobuf 3.x.

@propcoder Sorry for the typo, its libprotobuf-dev

@propcoder Can I close this issue?

I don't know, because I built from sources and I don't want to mess up the working system now. How should I check that? libprotobuf-dev is already installed on my laptop.

Then I guess we can close it since the issue was about the Protobuf installation instructions not working.

git checkout v3.3.0
./autogen.s
./configure
make 
sudo make install

works on Ubuntu 14.04 .
