Caffe-Builder

Caffe-Builder is a set of CMake scripts (using CMake's ExternalProject) that automate the build and installation of popular C/C++ open source libraries on Windows using microsoft toolchain.

Using this project will (hopefully) make building, installing and using open source libraries on Windows much easier.

Build status

Building libraries

Get the Prerequisites

Make sure CMake, Git and Ninja are in your path.

Optional dependencies

Clone this repository:

cmd> cd %caffe_builder_root%
cmd> git clone https://github.com/willyd/caffe-builder.git caffe-builder

Building the libraries

Execute the following command to build the libraries

cmd> build_v120_x64.cmd

Alternatively you can execute one command after the other :: Create a build directory cmd> mkdir build && cd build :: Setup the VS compiler cmd> call "%VS120COMNTOOLS%....\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64 :: This will build all libraries that were configured to build with the BUILD_* options (see below) cmd> ninja :: Or alternatively cmd> ninja <libname> :: You can execute this command to list all possible targets cmd> ninja -t targets

The libraries will be installed in build\libraries. Alongside the libraries a series of Find*.cmake files will be installed and a caffe-builder-config.cmake file will be installed too. You can replace 120 with 140 in the commands above to build with VS 2015.

Using the built libraries in your project

cmd> cd myproject
cmd> mkdir build
cmd> cd build
cmd> cmake -G <generator name> -C %caffe_builder_root%\caffe-builder\build\libraries\caffe-build-config.cmake
