Lack of Windows tutorial #1

Closed AurusHuang closed 6 years ago

AurusHuang commented 7 years ago

I believe this tutorial is not completely OS-agnostic, as it supposes that the tutorial should run on Unix-like OSes very subtly. Windows has no convenient programming tools like make by default, so a separate CMake or VS tutorial for Windows is required.

Hi @AurusHuang, thanks for reporting this. I was indeed a bit optimistic calling it OS-agnostic. I'll update the docs to be a bit more subtle. Regarding that separate tutorial: Windows, in particular VS, are out of my scope. I'm happy to include a patch if you are interested in providing that.

Thank you for your response. However, I'm a newbie to Caffe2 and I cannot even run a tutorial myself. I can only hope you, if not anyone else, to be kind enough to release a Windows tutorial.

@leonardvandriel I'm now making some progress on running the tutorial. However, I'm not skilled enough to make a CMake script for it. In Visual Studio, I manually added these values to make the intro program running:

  1. Include directories of: Caffe2, Caffe2/build, Protobuf, Eigen.
  2. Library directories and .lib filenames of: Caffe2, Protobuf/Protoc, OpenCV. LMDB. LevelDB.
  3. Additional linker parameters (for LINK.EXE): /WHOLEARCHIVE:Caffe2_CPU.lib
    Perhaps you can add some entries in CMake for include and library directories (while in POSIX systems, these directories and libraries are automatically found).

Good to hear you we're able to get the intro to work. I'm happy add some things to the CMakeLists.txt, but since i'm not able to test any of that, i'd still prefer to just merge a pull request that you were able to run and verify on a Windows machine.

A word of encouragement: CMake isn't that hard; the docs are pretty good and there's plenty of stackoverflow answers.

Did you also manage to run MNIST and the the other examples? These pose some additional challenges with respect to linking to OpenCV and CUDA libraries.

Thank you. This will be enough for now. 发自我的 iPhone
