Recently I tried to install Bisq on my single board computer Odroid-HC2. When compiling Bisq from source I get the following error:

protoc-3.5.1-linux-arm\_32.exe missing [https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/3.5.1/](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/3.5.1/)

Building Protobuf from source did not produce the above mentioned artifact and the installable program of the Protobuf did not nearly have the size of the equivalent program of x86-64 platform.

Does anyone have an idea how I could workaround the Protobuf issue?

Which openJDK version do you use ?  
OpenJDK10 is mandatory.  
See [https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/blob/master/docs/build.md](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/blob/master/docs/build.md)

Not sure if these instructions are any help?
