build missing _caffe.so or _caffe.dll

build missing _caffe.so or _caffe.dll

[happynear]

The python dll file are generated to ./python/caffe, named as _caffe.pyd.

[khogeland]

the .pyd file is where it should be, but isn't being loaded. dependency walker shows no issues. any suggestions?

[happynear]

I'm sorry I have no idea about your problem. I'm not quiet familiar with python.
I guess maybe the path is too deep? One of my friend used to compile caffe in the windows temporary directory, and he came across similar error. You can try a more shallow folder, such as mine: D:/deeplearning/caffe-windows

[khogeland]

I deleted everything and retried in a different location, no luck :(

[happynear]

Have you added the ./3rdparty/bin folder to your environment variable PATH? To check this, please double click ./bin/MainCaller.exe. If you haven't added the folder, you will get a error like

"The program can't start because xxx.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

[khogeland]

I ended up compiling on ubuntu instead. It may depend on your GPU - I had some trouble getting CUDA to work probably on ubuntu too.

[happynear]

I'm sad that I can't help you to make it work. Good luck with your Ubuntu.

i just make it run. copied all dlls to caffe python folder . you can find prepared zip which is working on my system (win7, 64 bit) here https://github.com/drakh/caffe-win-python-anaconda

[happynear]

There is no need to copy all dlls. Please just add ./3rdparty/bin to the environment variable PATH.

drakh, thanks for your caffe build, but I have a problem like this
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: DLL load failed: module is not found
Can you help me to understand, what is my problem?

[happynear]

@alexandr-smirnov
Please help me check if you have add ./3rdparty/bin to the environment variable PATH. A lot of people forgot this step. However, it seems that more guys fail to run python wrapper. Please help me rule out some of the reasons.

[alexandr-smirnov]

I have installed PATH to ./3rdparty/bin, please, check content of this directory, which I have https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbpdk2w109dwxwf/bin.7z?dl=0

[alexandr-smirnov]

I solved the problem, thank you all

[happynear]

lol. Because of the greate firewall of China, I am still downloading your bin.7z archive...
Whatever, could you tell me what has happened?

[alexandr-smirnov]

I just found some missing dependencies

[happynear]

OK, I know that.

[alexandr-smirnov]

Can you help me again? I have a problem in the class 'caffe.Classifier' constructor:
self.transformer = caffe.io.Transformer(
{in_: self.blobs[in_].data.shape})
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Transformer'

[happynear]

Transformer is in ./python/caffe/io.py. I guess there's some thing wrong with sys.path?

[alexandr-smirnov]

I solved this problem too. I dont know why, but my version of the file io.py did not contain class Transformer, and I found another version.

[happynear]

Do you really use the code from this repo?

[alexandr-smirnov]

Partly yes

[Coderx7]

@alexandr-smirnov : I'm having the same problem, what exactly was your problem? which dependencies were you missing?

I used the way you solved the problems, but it can not solve my the same problems! @alexandr-smirnov
