Compile error on Ubuntu 12.04

[sshamray]

Hello.
If you know, please help me.
I try to compile Ostinato from source by manual
https://github.com/pstavirs/ostinato/wiki/BuildingFromSource

But while I try to make then I receive error message:

/home/user/Documents/ostinato/ostinato_1/rpc/rpcconn.cpp:380: error: 'NewCallback' is not a member of 'google::protobuf'
google::protobuf::NewCallback(this, &RpcConnection::sendRpcReply,

My steps to do this:

1. inatall qt
   $ sudo apt-get install qt4-default
   $ sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake
2. install Protocol Buffers 2.3+ by instruction from: https://github.com/google/protobuf
   git clone https://github.com/google/protobuf
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ make check
   $ make install
3. Install libpcap
   $ sudo apt-geanothert install libpcap
4. Compiling Ostinato
   $ qmake
   $ make

And after compiling some files I have error message:

/home/user/Documents/ostinato/ostinato_1/rpc/rpcconn.cpp:380: error: 'NewCallback' is not a member of 'google::protobuf'
google::protobuf::NewCallback(this, &RpcConnection::sendRpcReply,

Why it's happens? Can you help me?
Thanks.

Maybe you are using protobuf version 3? You need protobuf version 2.x

Unless you are fairly sure its a bug or issue, please use the mailing list for such queries - there are more people there that can help you.

Closing the issue for now. Will reopen if a bug is indeed identified.

It was confirmed on the mailing list that the compilation issue reported here was indeed caused by protobuf version 3.x. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ostinato/NVNGltYVobw

sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-get install protobuf-c-compiler
sudo apt-get install build-essential

https://github.com/pstavirs/ostinato/wiki/BuildingFromSource

git clone https://github.com/pstavirs/ostinato.git

Debian is migrating to protobuf 3.x and the ostinato package failed to build due to this issue as reported in Debian Bug #835435.

Please consider re-opening this issue and supporting protobuf 3.x.

[kartikm]

As @sebastic mentioned. Otherwise, package need to removed from Debian :/

[pstavirs]

Have opened #193 to track protobuf 3.x support
