While reading https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto I ran into the following piece of text:
The protocol compiler searches for imported files in a set of directories specified on the protocol compiler command line using the -I/--proto_path flag. If no flag was given, it looks in the directory in which the compiler was invoked. In general you should set the --proto_path flag to the root of your project and use fully qualified names for all imports.
What exactly do they mean that --proto_path should point at the root of the project, and use fully-qualified import names?
For example my project tree has the following structure:
$HOME/
my_project/
docs/
src/
lib/
proto/
p1.proto
p2.proto
proto is where I keep .proto schemas. So for the above layout I should call protoc as --proto_path=$HOME/my_project/proto ? Not sure what should import look like?
