protobuf compilation errors

[Strateus]

Hi,
i have some protobuf similar errors in VS2012:
C:!DOWNLOAD\Caffe\WILLYD\build\DownloadCache\protobuf\gtest\include\gtest/gtest-printers.h(550): error C2977: std::tuple:
C:!DOWNLOAD\Caffe\WILLYD\build\DownloadCache\protobuf\gtest\include\gtest/internal/gtest-param-util-generated.h(4338): error C2977: std::tuple:

And i can't choose 64bit release, there is 32bit only in solution.

At the end of compilation:

-- Boost version: 1.58.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
-- system
-- thread
-- Looking for pthread.h
-- Looking for pthread.h - not found
-- Found Threads: TRUE
-- Using custom FindGFlags module
-- Using custom FindGlog module
-- Could NOT find PROTOBUF (missing: PROTOBUF_LIBRARY PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR)
CMake Error at cmake/ProtoBuf.cmake:13 (message):
Could not find PROTOBUF Compiler
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/Dependencies.cmake:27 (include)
CMakeLists.txt:28 (include)

Any ideas what's wrong here?

I only tested with VS2013. Your problem looks related to std::tuple. Look for any differences between VS2013 and VS2012 on MSDN. I had a problem with GTest in caffe and I fixed it with the following lines of CMake code:

if(NOT MSVC) # rely on gtest header to determine what to do
add_definitions(-DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE)
endif(NOT MSVC)

Maybe you can try to add this to the protobuf CMakeLists.txt?

And i can't choose 64bit release, there is 32bit only in solution.

CMake does not make multi platform solution. You have to select Visual Studio 11 2012 Win64 to get the 64 bit platform.

Installed VS2013 and recompiled everything.

There were 1459 warnings and 6 errors now:

So basically only 2 failed: Boost and Caffe, but Caffe says that it cant fine Protobuf, so im confused. Rest of the dependencies succeeded to build.

Any hints now? Where i could check to get more info?

[willyd]

Boost actually succeeded. These are known issues, see the README.md.

As for why caffe fails to find protobuf, can you confirm that you have the protoc.exe somewhere in your build directory? Should be located under install. Once you find them you can manually set the required variables using the CMake GUI. See FindProtobuf.cmake.

Could NOT find PROTOBUF (missing: PROTOBUF_LIBRARY)

I had same problem and solved it.
protoc.exe and libprotobuf.lib are located at caffe-builder\build\install\vsprojects\Release.
I just copied the files to caffe-builder\build\install\bin and caffe-builder\build\install\lib.

I am getting the following error on trying to install Caffe on Windows 10 with 2015 Visual Studio
