Describe the problem

Even after running the this action, our project isn't able to find the protoc installation. Getting the error below

error: failed to run custom build command for `async-graphql-extension-apollo-tracing v3.2.14`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/target/release/build/async-graphql-extension-apollo-tracing-717675847b3f881b/build-script-build` (exit status: 101)

  Could not find `protoc` installation and this build crate cannot proceed without
      this knowledge. If `protoc` is installed and this crate had trouble finding
      it, you can set the `PROTOC` environment variable with the specific path to your
      installed `protoc` binary.If you're on debian, try `apt-get install protobuf-compiler` or download it from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases

If fails for the following targets

  • linux-x64-musl
  • linux-arm64-gnu
  • linux-arm64-musl
  • linux-ia32-gnu
  • win32-x64-msvc
  • win32-x64-gnu
  • win32-arm64-msvc
  • win32-ia32-gnu

To reproduce

  1. Install protoc using this github action
  2. Build https://github.com/tailcallhq/tailcall/tree/apollo-integration

Expected behavior

Build should succeed because protoc should be installed by the action but the build fails because it is unable to find the installation

'arduino/setup-protoc' version

v26.0-rc3

Additional context

No response

@shashitnak The problem seems to be that you're using a container to do cross-build for: linux-x64-musl, linux-arm64-gnu, linux-arm64-musl, linux-ia32-gnu, and win32-ia32-gnu.
It seems that you have 2 problems:

  1. Related to the missing protoc
  2. For win build without cross-compilation, I see other errors not related to protoc.

Unfortunately, I can give you some hints only for the first point.
When using GithubActions the setup-protoc (and similar actions) install the tool in the base os. If you're using an action that runs a container, all the tools you have installed in the base OS aren't available in the container.
In your case, the cargo-action you're using for cross-compiling, under the hood uses the cross-rs which seems to perform the compilation in a container.

If you can mount the protoc binary in the cross-rs container you should solve the problem.
