This tutorial comes from protocol buffers

Must-know of runnning protobuf on BU remote server

Protobuf is installed on my userspace. Similar to Apache Thrift, you need to specify enviornment variables at compile and run time.

• Protobuf binary

export PATH=/home/phao3/protobuf/bin/bin:$PATH

• Protobuf Package configuration file location

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/phao3/protobuf/bin/lib/pkgconfig

cpp

You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for runtime dynamic link.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/phao3/protobuf/bin/lib

java

You need to set CLASSPATH for runtime class discovery

export CLASSPATH=/home/phao3/protobuf/protobuf-3.4.0/java/core/target/protobuf.jar

python

You need to set sys.path within the code

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/phao3/protobuf/protobuf-3.4.0/python')
