NOTICE

The original tensorflow readme.

TensorFlow CMake for Windows

Because beyond tensorflow r1.11, tensorflow officially drop CMake build files, and support only bazel, so I personally try to maintain a cmake build scripts for tensorflow.

Environment

The following lists prerequisite softwares and libraries:

• python3 (v3.6 in Anaconda is recommended)
• cmake >= 3.12
• git
• cuda == 9.0
• cudnn == 7.0

The following lists prerequisite pip packages:

• absl-py >= 0.2.2
• protobuf >= 3.6.0
• numpy**
• six
• setuptools
• wheel

Compilers (tested by me):

• VS 2015 (vc14), or
• VS 2017 (vc15)***

*Swig is pre-downloaded into ./_build

**You should the same version of numpy in BUILD and USE

***When you use the newest VS 2017, CUDA compile check may fail, to resolve this, see here

How to compile

Start into VS x64 prompt.

====================

> mkdir _build && cd _build
> cmake .. -A x64 -T host=x64 ^
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
  -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=%PYTHON_EXECUTABLE% ^
  -DPYTHON_LIBRARIES=%PYTHON_LIB% ^
  -Dtensorflow_ENABLE_GPU=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_WIN_CPU_SIMD_OPTIONS=/arch:AVX2 ^
  -Dtensorflow_ENABLE_MKL_SUPPORT=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_ENABLE_MKLDNN_SUPPORT=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_BUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_DISABLE_EIGEN_FORCEINLINE=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_ENABLE_GRPC_SUPPORT=ON ^
  -Dtensorflow_ENABLE_SSL_SUPPORT=<ON/OFF> ^
  -Dtensorflow_ENABLE_SNAPPY_SUPPORT=<ON/OFF>
> cmake --build . --config Release --target tf_python_build_pip_package

Note: ^ is another line, GRPC must set ON, WIN_CPU_SIMD_OPTIONS can set to OFF if you don't know what's AVX. PYTHON_EXECUTABLE and PYTHON_LIB should specify to your own path.(Path to python.exe and python36.lib for instance)

OR your can try experimentally script make.bat to auto search required path

> make && cd _build
> cmake --build . --config Release --target tf_python_build_pip_package

Before doing this, your must edit make.bat and your own options (such as GPU or MKL)

File Re-organized

The original cmake files are all in the ./tensorflow/contrib/cmake, it's better to add CMakeLists.txt to each sub-folders
