Cannot make ! It is a problem of Cython?

[shuuchen]

Hi there,

I tried to run the following command:

cd $FRCN_ROOT/lib make

but it cannot run.

It is an issue of Cython? or something others?

[AlbertoBenini]

So when you run make nothing happend? Or do you have an error?

[shuuchen]

I just wonder what should be installed first to run 'make' command. Is that Cython?

[AlbertoBenini]

Yes, you have to install Cython in order to make the project

[shuuchen]

I installed that with the following version:

Cython -V Cython version 0.23.4

But nothing happens when I typed the 'make' command.

What operating system are you running? And, as Alberto said, what error are you getting? There is no way nothing happens right?

Windows 10 Home

Well there's your problem. (Just tell us your error next time, makes things a loooot easier) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2532234/how-to-run-a-makefile-in-windows here they explain something about running Makefiles under windows. My suggestion is to just use something like Docker to run this network under Linux, making these kind of things work on windows is not fun. (Although windows 10 has a bash terminal you can try, but that is still in development and last time I checked it couldn't access your gpu)

Thanks very much for the solution! I will try that!

I tried that but got the following errors:

$ make python setup.py build_ext --inplace running build_ext Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 154, in cmdclass={'build_ext': custom_build_ext}, File "C:\Users\to\Anaconda3\lib\distutils\core.py", line 148, in setup dist.run_commands() File "C:\Users\to\Anaconda3\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 955, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "C:\Users\to\Anaconda3\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 974, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "C:\Users\to\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\Cython\Distutils\build_ext.py", line 164, in run _build_ext.build_ext.run(self) File "C:\Users\to\Anaconda3\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 338, in run self.build_extensions() File "setup.py", line 105, in build_extensions customize_compiler_for_nvcc(self.compiler) File "setup.py", line 77, in customize_compiler_for_nvcc default_compiler_so = self.compiler_so AttributeError: 'MSVCCompiler' object has no attribute 'compiler_so' make: *** [Makefile:2: all] error 1

$ python -V Python 3.5.1 :: Anaconda 4.0.0 (64-bit)

Is that a python version error? or something else?

[shuuchen]

I do not have a GPU on my computer so it cannot run CUDA code. Is that a problem?

[AlbertoBenini]

For the cpu you should be able to run the code, clearly it will be slower than on gpu. For the error I think that it's a problem of MSVCCompiler. Try to google it

[LHagendoorn]

Trying to make this stuff under windows is just a really bad idea. Especially without an Nvidia gpu (you will definetly be unable to train this, but if you only want to run it, a CPU will work). For starters you will need python 2.7, other than that, I can't help you with compiling this under windows, other than again recommending using virtual box or docker to run this under linux.

[shuuchen]

OK. Thanks very much for the answers.

@shuuchen have you resolved the question,I have the same question,thanks?

[shuuchen]

@HaoWangDL I gave up Windows and move to Linux. The problem didn't happen any more.

[HaoWangDL]

@shuuchen thank you ! I'm doing the same.

[HaoWangDL]

@shuuchen hi,have you meet the question no module named fast_rcnn on linux?it confused me 2 days.thanks

[ankur7721]

@HaoWangDL that's the problem of relative path.
