Bazel: build command is only supported from with in a work space

[raady07]

Hello
I am trying to build GPU version of tensorflow and trying to flow a link described

https://alliseesolutions.wordpress.com/2016/07/05/how-to-install-gpu-tensorflow-0-9-from-sources-ubuntu-14-04/

coming to BUILD TENSORFLOW Module:
I tried using a command
bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

I get a response
The build command is only supported from within a workspace.

I trying to install this to work on CNN.
I am using ubuntu 14.0.4,

output of the command: bazel version
Build label: 0.4.3
Build target: bazel-out/local-fastbuild/bin/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelServer_deploy.jar
Build time: Thu Dec 22 12:31:25 2016 (1482409885)
Build timestamp: 1482409885
Build timestamp as int: 1482409885

i guess without this i cannot use the tensorflow,
when i give source activate tensorflow it gives as (tensorflow)raady@pc:~
and when i try to run a file it gives Attribute error: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute ' InteractiveSession'

please provide the necessary help, thanks in advance.

Are you running bazel from tensorflow folder? It looks like bazel misses the WORKSPACE file.

I went to the tensorflow folder
and ran the same command, posting the error . I couldnt understand
while installing it asked for are you using openCL if selected y it asked for computecpp path as i didnt install i didnt choose them, do they are also required ?

bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
error

[hlopko]

And I assume you tried running ./configure and entering 'Y' to enable GPU support? :)

Anyway, tensorflow is the right place to ask, so if you don't mind, I'll close this issue.

要先执行
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow,
并在源码的目录里执行如下:

创建 pip 包并安装

$ bazel build -c opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

$ bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg

.whl 文件的实际名字与你所使用的平台有关

$ pip install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-0.5.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

[hlopko]

Did you run the configure step?

I also meet this problem,
and I run the "touch WORKSPACE" command , the problem was resolved.

bazel build -c opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

it works! thx mate
