Windows 10 + VS2013 编译 Caffe

Prerequisites

• NVidia Geforece 840M (any CUDA supported cards)
• Windows 10 Home
• Matlab (optional, R2012b)
• Anaconda python (optional, python 2.7)
• Git

Pre-installs

• cuda_7.5.18_win10.exe
• cudnn-7.0-win-x64-v4.0-prod.zip

Note: Caffe doesn’t support cudnn v5.0 yet, install v4.0 instead, otherwise you will get complaints.

Clone

By default, git clone fetches all the branches on the remote repository, so first clone the sources, and switch to the branch windows.

git clone https://github.com/BVLC/caffe.gitgit branch -a #check all the branchesgit checkout windows

The following dependency packages will be automatically fetched from Internet by NuGet when you start build the project.

After downloading is complete, check these packages here, right-click the project, Manage NuGet Packages.

Configs

My CommonSettings.props is as follows, the differences from the

Compilation

1. Compile libcaffe first
2. Compile caffe next
3. Build Solution or compile the rest.

Troubleshooting

1. pyconfig.h: No such file or directory

   Set Anaconda path in CommonSettings.prop

   <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(PythonSupport)'=='true'">    <PythonDir>C:\Program Files\Anaconda</PythonDir>    <LibraryPath>$(PythonDir)\libs;$(LibraryPath)</LibraryPath>

2. The builds tools for v140 (Platform Toolset = 'v140') cannot be found

   It might be caused by building caffe with vs2015 first, change it here,
   Configuration Properties > General > Platform Toolset > Visual Studio 2013 (v120)

3. PyObject

   Set False to “Treat Warnings As Errors”, it is here Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Treat Warnings As Errors
