Building TensorFlow using Borland 7 32 bits

[Antonio Linares]

For 64 bits you can simply download the TensorFlow.dll from here:
http://ci.tensorflow.org/view/Nightly/job/nightly-libtensorflow-windows/

git.exe clone --progress -v "https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow" "C:\tensorflow"

If you use TortoiseGit then simply use https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow as the url

Add this line as the first line in tensorflow/c/c_api.h
#define COMPILER_MSVC

cd tensorflow

c:\tensorflow>c:\bcc7\bin\bcc32 -c -Ithird_party/eigen3 tensorflow/c/c_api.cc

Modifying c:\tensorflow\third_party\eigen3\unsupported\Eigen\CXX11\Tensor this way, it continues until next error

// #include "unsupported/Eigen/CXX11/Tensor"

#ifdef _WIN32
#ifndef SLEEP_FUNC_HEADER_GUARD
#define SLEEP_FUNC_HEADER_GUARD
#include <windows.h>
inline void sleep(unsigned int seconds) { Sleep(1000*seconds); }
#endif

// On Windows, Eigen will include Windows.h, which defines various
// macros that conflict with TensorFlow symbols. Undefine them here to
// prevent clashes.
#undef DeleteFile
#undef ERROR
#undef LoadLibrary
#endif // _WIN32

At c:\tensorflow\tensorflow\core\framework\ I created a dummy file allocation_description.pb.h

allocation_description.pb.h
// dummy

it continues...

Trying to build it using MinGW gcc:

go.bat

Code: Select all  Expand view

set path=c:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin
gcc -std=c++11 -I. -Ithird_party\eigen3 tensorflow/c/c_api.cc
