error MSB3073 about caffe

That's strange.
Can you try to re-add protobuff package to the solution, or just clone the repo in different location (it should trigger NuGet packages to re-download.

[pavlejosipovic]

@snailchan did you resolve this issue?

[snailchan]

sorry,I have not solved this problem. Actually, I cloned your project, configured it, and debugged it as instruction. However, that didn't work.
As far as I am concerned, can this problem occurred because the NuGet packages? For I have not found any definitions about the include dir or source dir involved the NuGet packages dir.

After I scanned other issues, I noticed AleksandarTomicMS say that the default location ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0") did matter (#18). Coincidentally，I installed the MSVC in D:. So, does it really influence?

[zer0n]

You can quick test the hypothesis by mklink /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0" "D:\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0".

Thank you for your help, @pavlejosipovic , @zer0n , after I added the soft link , the original bug disappeared. However, the new bug occurred.

I think what causes the error is the '\' in the first line, but I have searched nothing useful on google. Can you give some instructions?

[pavlejosipovic]

You can try running the cmd script manually to get better error message but my guess is that you haven't configured cuDNN as described in README.md

cuDNN

Download cuDNN v3 or cuDNN v4 from nVidia website. Unpack downloaded zip to %CUDA_PATH% (environment variable set by CUDA installer). Alternatively, you can unpack zip to any location and set CuDnnPath to point to this location in .\windows\CommonSettings.props . Also, you can disable cuDNN by setting UseCuDNN to false in the property file.

[snailchan]

Yes, you are right, @pavlejosipovic . But I had set the $(CuDnnPath) below

As I located the cudnn package below

However, this bug still exits. Where did I set wrong?

[pavlejosipovic]

If you are using %CUDA_PATH% then you can leave CuDnnPath variable empty.
I'm using cuDNNv4 on my box:
%CUDA_PATH%\bin\cudnn64_4.dll
%CUDA_PATH%\include\cudnn64.h
%CUDA_PATH%\lib\x64\cudnn.lib

[snailchan]

thanks, @pavlejosipovic ，your solutions is useful, but, I want to know, why I put the cudnn package in other location have nothing to do with the bug. Where I set wrong?

[pavlejosipovic]

You can put cuDNN in any location you want you just need to unzip the cuDNN package you download from NVidia and set CuDnnPath to point to this location
you should have the same folder structure.
"random unpack location"\cuda\bin\cudnn64_4.dll
"random unpack location"\cuda\include\cudnn.h
"random unpack location"\cuda\lib\x64\cudnn.lib

CuDnnPath should point to "random unpack location"
