Instructions for installing google-protobuf from source

parent ca667992
# Installing a locally compiled google-protobuf gem
First we must find the exact version of google-protobuf that your
GitLab installation requires.
cd /home/git/gitlab
# Only one of the following two commands will print something. It
# will look like: * google-protobuf (3.2.0)
bundle list | grep google-protobuf
bundle check | grep google-protobuf
Below we use `3.2.0` as an example. Replace it with the version number
you found above.
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H gem install google-protobuf --version 3.2.0 --platform ruby
Finally, you can test whether google-protobuf loads correctly. The
following should print 'OK'.
sudo -u git -H bundle exec ruby -rgoogle/protobuf -e 'puts :OK'
If the `gem install` command fails you may need to install developer
tools. On Debian: `apt-get install build-essential libgmp-dev`, on
Centos/RedHat `yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'`.

### google-protobuf "LoadError: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found"
This can happen on some platforms for some versions of the
google-protobuf gem. The workaround is to [install a source-only
version of this gem](google-protobuf.md).
