Protobuf C++ serializing deserializing

[petrasvestartas]

Hi,

I am spending one good week for trying to build protobuf c++.
I give up.

In your release files use include executables and header files.
Are executables enough to serialize and deserialize proto files?
Or we must install system wide protobuf dependecies from package managers.

I am really looking just for simplest applications: write data to binary back and forth.

Goal: use proto across python, c++, rust on windows, mac universal and ubuntu.
