Windows wheel for Tensorflow 1.4 CUDA9 + CUDNN7

[danqing]

Unfortunately we don’t have windows machines ourselves and won’t be able to provide that. Sorry.

[0xDaksh]

@danqing can you provide instructions so that I can build it ?

[danqing]

The installation guide is here. I don't have any experience with Windows, but it looks like you need to install Bazel and use the CMake build. It also likely works for Python 3.5 only.

[0xDaksh]

@danqing Building it today, if it works then I Will Provide it here.

[danqing]

Sounds good thanks! Lemme know if you run into issues and I'll see if I can help too.

[0xDaksh]

@danqing it just compiled but failed, do you use any explicit commands / instructions for cuda9 and cudnn7 ?

[danqing]

What's the error?

[0xDaksh]

@danqing I used this except for cuda 9 and cudnn7 https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/contrib/cmake/README.md

[danqing]

What’s the error you saw?

[0xDaksh]

I don't know, I compiled it a while ago but that's what happened.

[danqing]

Hmm yeah without specific errors I don't think I can tell what went wrong. If you are gonna give it another try, lemme know what problem you run into and I can see if I spot anything suspicious.

[0xDaksh]

Okay, I'll recompile!

[0xDaksh]

atm it is stuck at:

 Performing download step (download, verify and extract) for 'png'
  -- Downloading...
     dst='C:/Code/builds/tensorflow/tensorflow/contrib/cmake/build/downloads/libpng-1.2.53.tar.gz'

  -- [download 0% complete]
  -- [download 1% complete]
  -- [download 2% complete]

[danqing]

Hmm stuck at download? Does the [download x% complete] thing not progress?

[0xDaksh]

Nope, It's just stuck there.

[0xDaksh]

So what I did, I manually downloaded the file from sourceforge rather than google storage apis, because that url was dead and replaced it. Now I restarted the build as it was stuck there.

[danqing]

Interesting... If you are talking about https://storage.googleapis.com/libpng-public-archive/libpng-1.2.53.tar.gz, it works for me..

[0xDaksh]

then it's the routing which is dead xD

[0xDaksh]

anyway, I downloaded that file from sourceforge and it worked. Let's see where the next error comes in!

[0xDaksh]

These are the new errors:

@danqing Trying this solution: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/10799

But instead of MSBuild /m:4 /p:Configuration=Release tf_python_build_pip_package.vcxproj I used MSBuild /m:6 /p:Configuration=Release tf_python_build_pip_package.vcxproj as I've more cores 🗡

@danqing after doing that, those 4 errors squashed into 1:

Seems to be a VS issue. Have you tried something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44024268/msbuild-error-msb6006-cmd-exe-exited-with-code-1?
