Hi there, I had the same problem. There seems to be problem while building extension.
My solution was to download the libprotobuf source build .lib and specify include dir.
add this section to setup.cfg w/ correct paths :

[build_ext]
include_dirs=..\protoc\src
library_dirs=..\protoc\vsprojects\Release

• note if building in VS it ll generate libprotobuf.lib but setup needs protobuf.lib so you either rename it or change output target in the project.
• note 2 i would suggest authors to add this kind of info to doc :)
