Caffe: why BUILD_matlab is OFF in CMakeLists.txt

Created on 19 Dec 2015  路  1Comment  路  Source: BVLC/caffe

Hi developers,
I tried to build Matlab with CMake, and it worked fine on Ubuntu. I am just curious why BUILD_matlab is set OFF in default.

caffe_option(BUILD_matlab "Build Matlab wrapper" OFF IF UNIX OR APPLE)

https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L29
Thanks,

I'm not caffe dev.

  1. matlab is not the default interface of Caffe.
  2. matlab is proprietary software, not everyone has access to it.
  3. set BUILD_matlab to ON as default will introduce more reports to this github issues tracking system.
