Caffe Build Failed Windows 7

[Ian Mccallum]

Dear All,

I am trying to build caffe on windows 7 with visual studio 2015 and Anaconda python 3.5.
I am following the instructions on https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows

I have attached the full session, and below where it fails.

Any ideas on what i am doing wrong - much appreciated!

Thanks
Ian

Just adding the screenshot as perhaps easier to read.

Dear All,
solved it finally,
on another windows 7 machine, i installed anaconda with python 2.7
installed visual studio 2013 from github
it ran with warnings but no errors.
import caffe complained about no protobuf, but i then just ran "pip install protobuf" in Anaconda prompt.
now import caffe works in python.
hope that can help someone.
