Program with protocol-buffers don't compile with MinGW-w64: “undefined reference to google::protobuf:: …”

Question

I have installed the libprotobuf-dev=2.6.0-4 and protobuf-compiler=2.6.0-4 packages from Debian Jessie repository. Now I\'m trying to compile a program

Answer 1

libprotobuf-dev contains library headers and pre-built binaries for your system. If you are cross-compiling you need to compile library from sources to target system as well. Something like "./configure CC=i686-w64-mingw32-g++" in library sources directory should do the job.
