Using protoc-gen-go creates a .pb.go that imports google/golang but can't find package

问题

I'm using protoc-gen-go to compile C Protocol Buffers into Golang which works great and I can almost go install the package but I get this error:

cannot find package "google/protobuf"

but I cannot find this package anywhere to download, can anybody tell me what I should do with this? Thanks.

I'm following all steps to doing it from here

then I run protoc --go_out=. *.proto and I get all my files, but the wrong proto import

回答1:

as @poopoothegoriall said, please use the protobuf from github, other than code-google. the generated .pb.go file will import "github.com/golang/protobuf/proto"

UPDATE this is my steps:

1. make install project https://github.com/google/protobuf.git
2. go get https://github.com/golang/protobuf
3. generate the go source by protoc --go_out=. xxx.proto
