=== Protocol Buffers with C Bindings ===

[[CRIT]] also uses python language bindings of Google Protocol Buffers and requires descriptor.proto from developer files that could be found in protobuf-devel package.  

 

CRIU uses the [https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ Google Protocol Buffers] to read and write [[Images]] and thus requires [https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c C language bindings] to be built. The <code>protoc</code> tool is required at build time and <code>libprotobuf-c.so</code> is required at build and run time, assuming dynamic linking.

==== Distribution Packages ====

The easiest approach for most would be to install distribution packages. RPM package names: <code>protobuf-c-compiler</code>, <code>protobuf-c-devel</code>, <code>protobuf-devel</code>, <code>protobuf-python</code>. Debian package names: <code>protobuf-c-compiler</code>, <code>libprotobuf-c0-dev</code>, <code>protobuf-compiler</code>, <code>protobuf-python</code>.

==== Building Protocol Buffers From Source ====

If you would like to build from source, you can use the following commands to obtain the source code repositories, configure, and build the code. On a Debian based system, you may have to install the following packages first: <code>autoconf curl g++ libtool</code>.
