You were trying to access those .proto from raw source code, what you need
is downloading/installing protobuf compiler (protoc), Please see official
github installation instruction
(https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/README.md). If
you are on Visual Studio on Windows, you can also just download the
Google.Protobuf.Tools nuget pacakge. The package is then bootstrapp as the
following structures:
For this example, ".../package" is where the protobuf compiler and its
resources are bootstrapped.
.../package/protoc
.../package/google/protobuf/*.proto <---these are all the well known types
in your protoc generation argument, you will then add "-I=.../package" to
instruct protoc where to search for .proto
if you have a test.proto file that has *import google/protobuf/any.proto
in it. and test.proto resides in .../src, *the protoc generation will look
something like this
*protoc test.proto -I=<absolute path of .../src> -I=<absolute path of
.../package> <and the rest is your platform specific flags>*
