libprotobuf for Unreal Engine 4

Link the google's protocol bufffers library as the third party in Unreal Engine 4.

Usage

1. Import or copy this project into <your project or plugin>/Source/ThirdParty/libprotobuf.
2. Add the libprotobuf as a module into <your project>.Build.cs

• PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "CoreUObject", "Engine", "libprotobuf" });

1. Generate two code files (header & source, ex: Message.pb.h & Message.pb.cc) of the protocal by protoc for cpp. (Ref: Google's Protocol Buffers)
2. Put them into the source directory (Private or Public) of your project.
3. Regenerate the code file for Unreal Engine 4 by regenerateforue4.py.
   • python regenerateforue4.py 'the source file'
   • ex: python regenerateforue4.py Message.pb.cc
   • You should get this information: Success to regenerate the code for UE4
4. You need include two header files when include the header file(ex: Message.pb.h).
   • #include "AllowWindowsPlatformTypes.h" //< before include the header file
   • #include "your code header file" //< ex: #include "Message.pb.h"
   • #include "HideWindowsPlatformTypes.h" //< after include the header file
5. Include and use the header file(ex: Message.pb.h) in your .cpp file.
6. That's all.

Roadmap

• Write a tutorial for the usage and create an example
• Support mobile platforms - Android/iOS/Windows Phone
