    set_kind("binary")
    add_packages("protobuf-c")
    add_rules("protobuf.c")
    add_files("src/*.c")
    add_files("src/*.proto")

We can also set proto_public = true to export the proto's header search directory and make it available for other parent targets to inherit from.

    add_packages("protobuf-c", {public = true})
    add_files("src/**.proto", {proto_public = true})

NOTE

Since the headers generated by protobuf reference the headers of the protobuf-c package, we also need to mark the package headers as {public = true} to export it.
