using caffe in visual studio c++ project

[Samira]

Hello,

I am trying to use Caffe API in my project in visual studio but the find_package(caffe) is not working in cmake because of this warning :

CMake Warning at (find_package):
By not providing "FindCaffe.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Caffe", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Caffe" with any of
the following names:

CaffeConfig.cmake
caffe-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "Caffe" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Caffe_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Caffe"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I suggest you do what I did and create a project to which you add all the source code and set it to compile to DLL.

Then specify all the functions you need to call as __declspec(dllexport) and create a .h file to include in your other project's source.

Thanks for the reply, it's a good idea but the thing is that we always want to use the latest available version of Caffe. that way we have to get one version and work with that particular version right?
