Hi

The reason that protob is unable to compile those protos is because there is no package specified on the file. I had a look at it and did the following to get it to compile to confirm that this was the problem.

mkdir /tmp/google-play
cd /tmp/google-play
npm init .
npm install pilgrimize --save-dev
echo '[ { "git": "https://github.com/egirault/googleplay-api.git", "paths": { ".": ["googleplay.proto"] } } ]' > protos.json
pilgrimize

At this point it throws an error. So I opened .proto_cache/googleplay-api/googleplay.proto and added the following to the top of the file:

package googleplay;

Then ran pilgrimize again

pilgrimize

Once the package was there it was happy days. If you keep pilgrimize running and open http://pilgrim.fender.io/ and click on Messages you'll see them all.

I'm not sure if this helps or not. Currently it requires a package but it'd be grand to refactor it so that it didn't need to.
