Error: Error installing package 'protolite':

[benjcowley]

Hi, seem to have an issue when trying to build using renv, I've had a google around but the only fixes I've seen seem to apply to fixing this on a local machine rather than with this build pack. Any ideas how to go about fixing this?

   ** package ‘protolite’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

   Package protobuf was not found in the pkg-config search path.
   Perhaps you should add the directory containing `protobuf.pc'
   to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
   No package 'protobuf' found

    * deb: libprotobuf-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
    * rpm: protobuf-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
    * brew: protobuf (OSX)
   If protobuf is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
   PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a protobuf.pc file. If pkg-config
   is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
   R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

Hi @benjcowley

The error is likely due to missing the libprotobuf-dev system dependency.

You can install libprotobuf-dev by adding an Aptfile to the root of your project directory which lists the dependency, as described in the README under Installing Binary Dependencies.

See the aptfile test for an example.
