Compilation required to install google protobuf?

I just want to be sure: if you want to use the google protocol buffers, I can find the binary for the compiler, but it seems to me that I also need to compile the remaining source files. It's true? I have a MinGW c compiler, this will be done. Does anyone have a make file?

Typically, a compiler is needed to compile the protobuf scheme into a shell that will be used in your code. So this is not the actual make / build process. Give more detailed information about how you will use proto files - that is, what language you work in.

UPDATE : it looks like you do not have python-protobuf installed, or Python cannot find it.

Or install it using

apt-get install python-protobuf # for Ubuntu yum install python-protobuf # for Fedora/Redhat

or

 easy_install protobuf

or install it from the source as described here: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=235
