Unable to compile with noproto

I did a fresh git clone this evening and am getting lots of issues being unable to find StorageBlock when compiling with "ant noproto release-jar"

Yep, looks like we broke the noproto target in some recent refactorings. We'll fix but in the meantime, the solution is simply to install protocol buffers 2.3...

Thanks for the info. Installing thrift and protobuf is more than I have time for. Was just trying to see if the JsonLoader for Pig would solve some of the issues I was having. Looks like I will just put pig on the backburner for a while.

Cheers!

I have the same issue with a fresh clone of master. Building without protocol buffers is still mentioned in Readme.md.
