| The build time dependency crate for generating code for the official Google Rust |
| Protobuf implementation. |
| |
| The code generated by this is expected to be used in conjunction with the |
| official [Protobuf crate](http://crates.io/crates/protobuf). |
| |
| This is currently a beta release: the API is subject to change, |
| and there may be some rough edges, including missing documentation and features. |

| # How to get a compatible version of protoc |
| |
| Usage of this crate currently requires protoc to be built from |
| source, as it relies on changes that have not been included in the newest protoc |
| release yet. |
| |
| A future stable release will be compatible with the officially released protoc |
| binaries. |
| |
| You can build a compatible protoc from source as follows: |
| |
| ``` |
| git clone https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf.git |
| cd protobuf |
| git checkout rust-prerelease-4.31.0-beta1 |
| cmake . -Dprotobuf_FORCE_FETCH_DEPENDENCIES=ON |
| cmake --build . --parallel 12" |
| ``` |
