从http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/上下载protobuf-2.3.0，解压后，打开vsprojects文件夹，然后用VS2005打开protobuf开始编译，然后生成libprotobuf,libprotobuf-lite,libprotoc三个lib，同时生成了include文件夹。。。具体操作看vsprojects下面的readme文件来看。。。。
之后新建一个记事本txt文件（book.txt）在里面写
package tutorial;
message Person {
required string name = 1;
required int32 id = 2;
optional string email = 3;
enum PhoneType {
MOBILE = 0;
HOME = 1;
WORK = 2;
}
message PhoneNumber {
required string number = 1;
optional PhoneType type = 2 [default = HOME];
}
repeated PhoneNumber phone = 4;
}
message AddressBook {
repeated Person person = 1;
}
然后在dos命令行下对该文件进行重命名:rename book.txt book.proto，然后在dos命令行下protoc.exe -I=. --cpp_out=. book.proto，就可以生成两个文件book.pb.cpp, book.pb.h。

注意：编译库的时候是使用的debug非release。。。
把工程设置成：C C++；代码生成；多线程DLL（/MD）才行。
