This repository is forked from willyd/caffe-builder with updated caffe third-party dependencies.
| lib | old version | new version |
|---|---|---|
| boost | 1.61.0 | 1.68.0 |
| hdf5 | 1.8.16 | 1.8.17 |
| lmdb | 0.9.18 | 0.9.22 |
| opencv | 3.1.0 | 3.4.3 |
| protobuf | 3.1.0 | 3.6.1 |
| zlib | 1.2.8 | 1.2.11 |
It also aims to adapt builds for the currently latest VS 2017.
Additionally, dependencies are downloaded together from netdisk to avoid some annoying network problems.
Module build scripts also use local files in case of repeated downloads.
Caffe-Builder is a set of CMake scripts (using CMake's ExternalProject) that automate the build and installation of popular C/C++ open source libraries on Windows using microsoft toolchain.
Using this project will (hopefully) make building, installing and using open source libraries on Windows much easier.
- Third-party dependencies Baidu Yun
- CMake (3.12 or higher)
- Visual Studio (tested with 2017 in 64 bit mode)
- Git
- Ninja
Make sure CMake, Git and Ninja are in your environment PATH.
- CUDA (tested with 10.0) for GPU support in opencv and other libraries
- Python (tested with 3.6.5) to build boost.python for example
cmd> cd %caffe_builder_root%
cmd> git clone https://github.com/codelilei/caffe-builder.git caffe-builder
Download the prerequisites dependencies file mentioned above.
Put it under the root directory of this repo and extract.
Execute the following command to build the libraries.
cmd> build_v150_x64.cmd
:: Create a build directory
cmd> mkdir build && cd build
:: Setup the VS compiler, Simply use vs2017 command prompt, or use common cmd and follow commands below
:: for vs15 or earlier, e.g. VS 2013 cmd> call "%VS120COMNTOOLS%....\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
:: set VS15COMNTOOLS to be the path where vcvarsall.bat is located
cmd> set VS15COMNTOOLS="D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\Tools\"
cmd> call "%VS150COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
:: This will build all libraries that were configured to build with the BUILD_* options (see below)
cmd> ninja
:: Or alternatively
cmd> ninja <libname>
:: You can execute this command to list all possible targets
cmd> ninja -t targets
The libraries will be installed in build\libraries. Alongside the libraries a series of Find*.cmake files will be installed and a caffe-builder-config.cmake file will be installed too. You can replace 150 with 140 in the commands above to build with VS 2015.
cmd> cd myproject
cmd> mkdir build
cmd> cd build
cmd> cmake -G <generator name> -C %caffe_builder_root%\caffe-builder\build\libraries\caffe-builder-config.cmake
Sometimes hdf5 module will only be built for either debug or release mode.
You can build the lost version via the following commands.
cmd> cd build
cmd> "%VS150COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
cmd> ninja build hdf5-release
