I am having several problems when building for Windows 10.

To generate the Visual Studio solution I had to reorganize the install folder created by protobuf lib following this structure:

rootfolder
   |+ src
       |+google
           |+protobuf
               |-*All include files*
   |+ vsprojects
       |+Release
           |-*.lib (libprotobuf.lib, etc.)

Then, I had to put "protoc.exe" and "grpc_cpp_plugin.exe" inside the build directory of protocol-buffers and set(Protobuf_SRC_ROOT_FOLDER *rootFolder path*) in CMakeLists.txt before find_package(Protobuf 3 REQUIRED). This was all because how "FindProtobuf.cmake" works when compiling with visual studio.

After I managed to do this I tried to compile the generated solution, but it seems to be quiet broken. There are duplicated files in the matrixio_protos.vcxproj project with a wrong path (adds build folder twice, like ...\protocol-buffers\build\build...). It also tries to access the protobuf and matrix_io source files from the protocol buffers build directory. After adding them there, it finally fails to compile due to error cmb6006 because it tries to access a wrong path (access ptrobuf instead of protobuf folder).

Would be nice to have an npm package with the proto file of malos. Like this we can get them really easily on our node application and can also maintain them.

Thanks :)

Missing last " in cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-std=c++11 ..

Should be : cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-std=c++11" ..
