Compilation fails with: google/api/http.pb.h: No such file or directory about etcd-cpp-apiv3 HOT 7 CLOSED

I see this file does exists, still build fails for not finding it:

root@lb-prof:~/etcd# ls -ltrh /usr/local/include/etcd/proto/google/api/http.pb.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61K Jan 31 21:44 /usr/local/include/etcd/proto/google/api/http.pb.h
root@lb-prof:~/etcd# 

I manually then updated the file:

`/usr/local/include/etcd/proto/google/api/annotations.pb.h'

as:

#include "http.pb.h" instead of original: #include "google/api/http.pb.h"

and then it compiled.

Wondering, if this is right way or expected while using etcd-cpp-apiv3 in any program.
Please suggest?

Hi @ashish-billore,

Assuming you are installing etcd-cpp-apiv3 library into /usr/local, you need to add /usr/local/include as well as /usr/local/include/etcd to the compiler flags, as

g++ -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/etcd

That is a bit annoying, but the fixes is not very easy. We want to keep the same package name, module name and file structures with etcd ifself (that means, when we update protobuf files, we just need to copy them, without any changes). The include path in headers is generated by protoc, not ourself. I think adding a nother include directory should be usually fine enough.

Assuming you are working with CMake, you just need to add another include directory.

Thanks @sighingnow I'll follow your suggestion to compile with:

g++ -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/etcd

Hi @ashish-billore,

I would like to know if providing a cmake module to make find_package(etcd) work and set a CMake variable ETCD_INCLUDE_DIRS helps for you case.

Sure, that sounds good too.

@sighingnow After compiling as above, when I try to run the application, I get a core dump.
I create another issue for that: #40 since the compilation is done.
Please have a look, thanks!
