Cannot use static lib in my project. Missing protobuf related functions.

[jiangsutx]

Hi,

I am trying to use your wonderful pre-built lib in my c++project. It works well when using dynamic libs. But I failed to link with tensorflow_static.lib

I tried the following version:

libtensorflow-cpu-windows-x86_64-1.8.0-avx2
libtensorflow-gpu-windows-x86_64-1.10.0-avx2cuda92cudnn72

My CMakeLists.txt are like follows.

set(TensorFlow_ROOT "E:/Libs/cpp/libtensorflow-cpu-windows-x86_64-1.8.0-avx2")
set(TensorFlow_INCLUDE_DIRS ${TensorFlow_ROOT}/include)
set(TensorFlow_LIBRARY_DIR ${TensorFlow_ROOT}/lib)
set(TensorFlow_LIBS tensorflow_static)

add_library(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED DeblurLib.cpp)
target_link_libraries(${TARGET_NAME} ${TensorFlow_LIBS} ${OpenCV_LIBS})

Then it produce so many undefined external symbols errors, most of related to protobuf. For example,

tensorflow_static.lib(tensor.pb_text.obj) : error LNK2019: 无法解析的外部符号 "public: void * __cdecl google::protobuf::internal::ArenaImpl::AllocateAligned(unsigned __int64)" (?AllocateAligned@ArenaImpl@internal@protobuf@google@@QEAAPEAX_K@Z)，该符号在函数 "public: class tensorflow::strings::Scanner & __cdecl tensorflow::strings::Scanner::Any(enum tensorflow::strings::Scanner::CharClass)" (?Any@Scanner@strings@tensorflow@@QEAAAEAV123@W4CharClass@123@@Z) 中被引用
tensorflow_static.lib(function.pb_text.obj) : error LNK2001: 无法解析的外部符号 "public: void * __cdecl google::protobuf::internal::ArenaImpl::AllocateAligned(unsigned __int64)" (?AllocateAligned@ArenaImpl@internal@protobuf@google@@QEAAPEAX_K@Z)
...

Did I missed something? I also tried to link another libprotobuf.lib but the error remains.

git clone https://github.com/google/protobuf.git
cd protobuf
git checkout b04e5cba356212e4e8c66c61bbe0c3a20537c5b9

連接這個版本的protobuf試試?

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried with Protobuf 3.4.1, which is the same as b04e5cba356212e4e8c66c61bbe0c3a20537c5b9.

I linked with libprotobuf.lib and libprotoc.lib, errors reduce to 204 from 249.

What else libs do I need, instead of tensorflow_static please?

[jiangsutx]

Do you mean all these packages with cmake are needed?

May I ask did you successfully use or test this tensorflow_static lib? And what additional libs did you use please?

Hi, I also encountered the same problem, did you solve it?
