Possibility of specifying configure file to build.

[MegaPanchamZ]

I'm asking this so that I can know exactly what settings are needed in the ./configure file so that users can build the pip package themselves. After following googles build from source instructions, It became apparent that the configuration settings for building are very vague.

Is it possible to explain the configure file and put it in the readme or inside the repo what settings were used specifically to build the wheel?

Thanks

Are those settings accurate to what you use to build without AVX instructions?

Does that mean I just have to do a vanilla build command like bazel build..... With no options?

No special parameters are required.

No need to modify the source code.

So, to put it simply I just need to run bazel build //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package ? and this will build a package with no AVX and no GPU support? Or do I need to add /nologo when it asks for optimisation flags to make a CPU only build without AVX.

[fo40225]

Prepare the build environment according to the instructions of official documents.

Answer /nologo if you don't need AVX when asked for optimization parameters.

bazel build --config=opt --define=no_tensorflow_py_deps=true //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package to build the source code.

bazel-bin\tensorflow\tools\pip_package\build_pip_package C:/tmp/tensorflow_pkg to generate whl file to C:\tmp\tensorflow_pkg

@fo40225 Thanks, I'll run the build today and see if it works.

I will be using the command bazel build --config=opt --define=no_tensorflow_py_deps=true --jobs 6 --local_ram_resources=HOST_RAM*0.5 //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

Do you want the wheel later to include in the repo? It is a py3.8 and tf2.3.0 whl

@MegaPanchamZ version bazel?

[MegaPanchamZ]

Bazel Version 3.5.0

[sonfire186]

@MegaPanchamZ I tried bazel 3.1.0 and 3.5.0, it`s bad. My error

`ERROR: G:/tensorflow/tensorflow/core/grappler/BUILD:168:1: C++ compilation of rule '//tensorflow/core/grappler:grappler_item_builder' failed (Exit 2): python.exe failed: error executing command`
`Target //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package failed to build`

@fo40225 quick question, in the build command what does --define=no_tensorflow_py_deps=true mean?
