caffe-dilation, make pycaffe problems

[Måns Larsson]

Hi,
I have installed the master branch of caffe and got it to run with both matcaffe and pycaffe interfaces.
However, when I try to compile pycaffe for the caffe-dilation branch, I get the following output from make pycaffe:

CXX/LD -o build_master_release/python/caffe/_caffe.so python/caffe/_caffe.cpp
touch python/caffe/proto/__init__.py
PROTOC (python) src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto
rsync -a --include '*/' --include '*.py' --exclude '*' \
      python/caffe/ build_master_release/python/caffe

when doing make pytest I get a lot of failed cases, trying to run make pycaffe again prints

rsync -a --include '*/' --include '*.py' --exclude '*' \
      python/caffe/ build_master_release/python/caffe


There is no problem doing make all and make matcaffe. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Måns

I have the same problem and tried many times. 

  Last I find there is _caffe.so in "build_release/python" dir , so I copy it to python/caffe dir . That can make "import caffe" success.  But I don't know it is 

the right method.

Or add the build_master/python to the python path.

As people have observed, which is documented in the readme, the built python library is in the build directory instead of the original Caffe source directory. In the original Caffe, the latter is used. However, if I need to build pycaffe from multiple branches, the built python library will override each other in the source directory, even though the C++ libraries and binaries of different branches can coexist in different build directories. Therefore, I changed Makefile in caffe-dilation so that the python libraries and source files are put in the same build directory with the other source files in the same git branch.

However, the user will have to add python/ in build directory to PYTHONPATH instead python/ in the caffe source directory.
