After building the build.ps1 using vcpkg what to do? Please, guide me from here. The output after .\build.ps1 is:

PS C:\darknet-master-re> .\build.ps1 Found vcpkg in VCPKG_ROOT: C:\vcpkg\vcpkg-master Setting up environment to use CMake generator: Visual Studio 15 2017

now you have built darknet, both the "classic" executable (darknet.exe), the library (dark.lib/dll) and the "modern" executable which calls the library (uselib.exe).

What do you want to do, with darknet?

[jubaer-ad]

My bad. I was looking for darknet.exe. Thanks.

[cenit]

You have it. Glad you solved!

[jubaer-ad]

@cenit Basically I was confused by: "Open Powershell, go to the darknet folder and build with the command .\build.ps1. If you want to use Visual Studio, you will find two custom solutions created for you by CMake after the build, one in build_win_debug and the other in build_win_release, containing all the appropriate config flags for your system."-from this repo. What does it even mean?

[cenit]

Build instructions are not clear. We will try to improve them. Let me rephrase it in the way it should be written: Many users want to customize darknet and add special features for their work. This might require not just linking to the library, but even editing it. This requires modifying darknet source code. If you want to use Visual Studio, the best way is using the "Open Folder" functionality in the root folder of darknet. Thanks to the CMakeLists.txt file, VS will setup everything and be ready for you (creating a solution under the hood, but this is a detail you can ignore). On the other hand, if you just need darknet as a library or as an executable, you can just build it. If you launch .\build.ps1 (which is made to ease building darknet, and it works also without the full VS, just the Build Tools - the compiler in short), you will find also the "old style" VS solutions created for you in the meantime. These should supersede the custom VS solution that is distributed in this repository, in the same way the custom makefile is again superseded by, again, the CMakeLists.txt file. You should consider CMake as the generator of all the toolchains for each system. It creates a solution for VS, a makefile for linux, an Xcode project for the Mac, ... A good CMakeLists.txt makes the custom VS solution and makefile unnecessary. Hope it might be clearer, if not please keep asking :)
