[HoangTienDuc]

I try to build dali backend docker both on two branch 20.12 and master, but i am stuck at cmake process.

Hello @HoangTienDuc ! Catch2 is a submodule in dali_backend, so you need to clone recursively:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:triton-inference-server/dali_backend.git
          ^^^^^^^^^^^

How to build guide gives you details on building. Please note, that for development dali_backend itself (without the need of building tritonserver), it's more convenient to use supplied Dockerfile.

@szalpal similar error as follows:

RUN mkdir build_in_ci && cd build_in_ci &&     cmake                                                   -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/tritonserver             -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                           -D TRITON_COMMON_REPO_TAG="r$TRITON_VERSION"          -D TRITON_CORE_REPO_TAG="r$TRITON_VERSION"            -D TRITON_BACKEND_REPO_TAG="r$TRITON_VERSION"         .. &&                                               make -j"$(grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l)" install

Could you tell me how to deal with it? Thanks.

@Edwardmark
It looks like the TRITON_VERSION variable is not set. Do you build a container using one of the Dockerfiles available in the repository (docker directory)?

If you run this command in any other way (e.g. custom Dockerfile) you have to set the TRITON_VERSION variable to the version matching your triton server. (latest: 21.05)
