This lib depends on boost-1.53.0 (only need header), protobuf-2.4.1, snappy and zlib:

• boost - http://www.boost.org/
• protobuf - http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
• snappy - http://code.google.com/p/snappy/
• zlib - http://zlib.net/

ATTENTION: boost header is only needed when compiling the lib, but no need for user code.

Extrally, './unit-test' and './sample/mock_sample' also depends on gtest:

• gtest - http://code.google.com/p/googletest/

1. Modify the file './depends.mk' to specify depending libs.
   The necessary libs is boost, protobuf, snappy, and zlib.
2. Run 'make' to build sofa-pbrpc.
   The default optimization level is 'O2'.
