I had a few undefined references during linking, but that was due to my local setup, and just had to explicitly link to libprotobuf which I just added to MakeVars (in addition to lwsock32). The package loaded just fine and I just went through a few of the examples in the vignette – seems to work well thus far.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps</div><div>Tobias</div></body></html>
