[ramdhan1989]

I try to build gpu faiss and this is the result

and this is inside build folder

and this is inside build->lib->release

is it good ? and what next ? build python wrapper steps are not clear to me. do we need to run the commands on commands prompt ? I have difficulty also to install swig on windows.

please advise,

thank you

This looks good, the python wrapper installation can be found in install_cmake.md file. You will need to install swig yourself before you start. ramdhan1989 <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Sa., 18. Juli 2020, 11:56:

You need do this by starting from visual studio developer command prompt, otherwise some header files can not be found ramdhan1989 <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Sa., 18. Juli 2020, 15:47:

still problem. this is the result

any idea ?

[bitsun]

make sure you open the developer command prompt for x64 instead of x86. As stated in the installation guide, only 64 bit is supported ramdhan1989 <notifications@github.com> schrieb am So., 19. Juli 2020, 04:09:

Please open the right developer command prompt, you have opened the one for ARM architecture

[ramdhan1989]

Please open the right developer command prompt, you have opened the one for ARM architecture

would you mind telling me how to open the right one ? I opened it thru Ms Visual Studio.

1. go to tools --> external tools --> add
   name = command prompt
   Command=%comspec%
   argument= /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" amd64_arm
   initial directory = $(SolutionDir)
2. then tools --> command prompt
   which part should I revise ?

I need your clarification as well. is the command below already correct ?

[bitsun]

It seems that you are almost there. But this "cannot open input file Files.obj" is quite strange to me. These commands will not generate such obj file. To find out what went wrong, i suggest you turn on the verbose option of cl.exe(by adding /VERBOSE )
