I am trying to build Caffe under Windows for further use in my C ++ project. Follow the instructions on github .

I have installed Visual Studio 2017. The path to the cl.exe file is the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64\ cl.exe

CMake version 3.14.3 is also installed.

When running the build_win.cmd script, an error occurs:

CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 14 2017 Win64.

Full output:

How to fix the error?

PS: Perform a CPU-only build. No CUDA installed.

    a small typo in the script, you need to fix the studio version:

      if "%MSVC_VERSION%"=="14" ( set CMAKE_GENERATOR=Visual Studio 14 2017 Win64 )

    on

      if "%MSVC_VERSION%"=="14" ( set CMAKE_GENERATOR=Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 )

    Important! The library can only be built by Visual Studio 2015

    • Thank. This problem was solved, but a new one appeared. Apparently, the assembly is assumed using VS 2015 (after all, it’s this version that is indicated in the instructions), since The script writes: CMake Error: Error: generator : Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64 Does not match the generator used previously: Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory or choose a different binary directory. - D .Stark
    • Is it possible to do something from the side without installing a studio in 2015? - D .Stark
    • Yes, as I already wrote, it is necessary to replace this line here: if NOT DEFINED MSVC_VERSION set MSVC_VERSION = 15 - Alexey Nikolaev
    • I replaced. INFO: MSVC_VERSION = 15 INFO: CMAKE_GENERATOR = "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" is part of the output. - D .Stark

      After configuring the project, open the caffe caffe-windows\scripts\build\Caffe.sln and execute the Build command for the runtest project. In the Output window you can see the results of the unit-test run: 3> [==========] 1106 tests from 150 test cases ran. (43389 ms total) 3> [ PASSED ] 1106 tests. 3> [==========] 1106 tests from 150 test cases ran. (43389 ms total) 3> [ PASSED ] 1106 tests. - Alexey Nikolaev
