make from src does not work. about ostinato HOT 6 CLOSED

telen0222,

You need to first build the protobuf source seperately from Ostinato and then 
ensure 
that protobuf SDK's exported header files and libraries are available to 
Ostinato 
via the environment variables CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH respectively.

See the following discussion for some expanded build instructions - <http://
groups.google.com/group/ostinato/browse_thread/thread/354b9368754724d1?pli=1>

Ignore the following line in pbrpc.pro. It is not required/used and something I 
seem 
to have forgotten to remove.
INCLUDEPATH += "c:\msys\1.0\local\include

Let me know if you need further help either by updating this issue or posting 
to the 
ostinato mailing list - ostinato at googlegroups dot com

Thanks for your kind help.
Following your instructions，I managed to compile protobuf successfully, and i
modified the "pbrpc.pro" file a bit to to include the protobuf header and lib
files,as follows:
---build out put begin:
INCLUDEPATH += "D:\projects\Qt\workspace\ostinato\protobuf-2.3.0\src\"
LIBS += -L"D:\projects\Qt\workspace\ostinato\protobuf-2.3.0\src\.libs" 
-llibprotobuf.a
LIBS += -L"D:\projects\Qt\workspace\ostinato\protobuf-2.3.0\src\.libs"
-llibprotobuf-lite.a
LIBS += -L"D:\projects\Qt\workspace\ostinato\protobuf-2.3.0\src\.libs" 
-llibprotoc.a

And after this, the "pbrpc" part of the build process went well, but a new 
problem
pops up（while building the "common" part）,as follows:

Expecting your kind reply, thanks in advance:)

By the way, i am in China, and i could not open the link you gave in IE:
http://groups.google.com/group/ostinato/browse_thread/thread/354b9368754724d1?pl
i=1

In case your os can not decode Chinese characters:
"make (e=2): 系统找不到指定的文件。"
means in english: "make (e=2): system can not find the designated file."

telen0222,

When you built the protobuf library, you would also have built the protobuf 
compiler - 
protoc.exe - check if it is in your PATH - if not add it to a location which is 
in 
your PATH
