cmakeable version of protocol buffers.

Question

Hello, StackOverflow community!

I want to embed protocol buffers into some project that supports cmake. As I undrestood, google doesn't provide this

Any suggestions? Who tried to create cmakeable protocol buffers library? Are there lots of not cross-platform places at the source or there is no at all.

Where can I take it if it exists? What else cmakeable is there instead of protocol buffers?

Pls, don't ask me why I don't install protocol buffers, and just use compiled libraries, I need to embed it inside the project. If it is really bad idea, then, please, explain why.

Answer 1

I created a set of CMakeLists.txt for protobufs for embedding into our build systems, and offered to contribute these to protobufs, but the people at Google weren't interested.

If you'd like, I can provide them "as-is". They work for 2.2.0, but you will probably have to do some hacking on your own to tweak them for your specific build system.
