gz-sim: Unknown CMake command "PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP".

I’m trying to build ign-gazebo3_3.8.0, and I encounter:

26409 CMake Error at src/msgs/CMakeLists.txt:2 (PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP):
26410   Unknown CMake command "PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP".
26411

According to this page https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52533396/cmake-cant-find-protobuf-protobuf-generate-cpp there would be something missing in the CMakeLists.txt, but even patching it did not resolve the issue.

I have protobuf/3.12.3 and cmake/3.16.5

Any idea ?

Below is the full log:
