Protobuf generated headers do not appear to get installed

[gavanderhoorn]

The headers (and sources) generated by protobuf are not installed by the build script at the moment.

This is less of a problem in a Catkin workpace, as there the include will resolve to the build and / or devel folder (where the files are stored after code generation), but for a stand-alone build/install (or a user that uses the install space) this will not work.

Has this issue been resolved? I'm using a catkin workspace and am having issues with the protobuf header files. The compiler shows the files being compiled, but for some reason they are not able to be found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Mitch981521 , there is a PR that should solve this open at #23 , but it still needs to be merged in the master branch.
If you want, you can try to apply the same change (that is quite minimal) in your local copy of the repo and see if that fixes your problem.

@traversaro , thank you for the reply. Is there a certain place in CMakeLists where I should place that? I just placed it in the installation section where everything else is being installed, but I'm still having the same issue. A colleague of mine hasn't had any issues with these proto files, so I'm also wondering if there is something wrong with ROS on my computer
