Your system configuration

Operating system: Windows Server 2012 R2
Compiler:
CUDA version (if applicable): 8
CUDNN version (if applicable): 5
BLAS:
Python or MATLAB version (for pycaffe and matcaffe respectively): Python

[willyd]

From your CMake output I see that your detected compiler is gcc. Try this: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/5248#issuecomment-279226614.

[satishknl]

am new to this installation. Please tell me how to change this

Set CMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl.exe and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl.exe
Use the Visual Studio Generator (WITH_NINJA=0)

[willyd]

To use VS instead of Ninja in a cmd command prompt

> set WITH_NINJA=0
> scripts\build_win.cmd

to use cl instead of gcc replace:

cmake -G"!CMAKE_GENERATOR!" ^
      -DBLAS=Open ^
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=%CMAKE_CONFIG% ^
      -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=%CMAKE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS% ^
      -DBUILD_python:BOOL=%BUILD_PYTHON% ^
      -DBUILD_python_layer:BOOL=%BUILD_PYTHON_LAYER% ^
      -DBUILD_matlab:BOOL=%BUILD_MATLAB% ^
      -DCPU_ONLY:BOOL=%CPU_ONLY% ^
      -DCOPY_PREREQUISITES:BOOL=1 ^
      -DINSTALL_PREREQUISITES:BOOL=1 ^
      -DUSE_NCCL:BOOL=!USE_NCCL! ^
      "%~dp0\.."

with

cmake -G"!CMAKE_GENERATOR!" ^
      -DBLAS=Open ^
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=%CMAKE_CONFIG% ^
      -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=%CMAKE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS% ^

Willyd....new error

CMake Error: Error: generator : Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64
Does not match the generator used previously: Ninja
Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory or choose a diffe
rent binary directory.
ERROR: Configure failed

[willyd]

Remove the build directory and start over.

Thanks Willyd......it works, but in the end it says

I want to install Digits as well. Please let me know or suggest me if you have any appropriate link

[satishknl]

when I am trying to execute the below command, am facing this error:
conda install --yes protobuf==3.1.0.vc14

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:

• protobuf ==3.1.0.vc14

hi i have this error
CMake Error: Error: generator : Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64
Does not match the generator used previously: Ninja
Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory or choose a different binary directory.
ERROR: Configure failed

[alialaobali]

hi i find a solution
we must delete build folder
in my path is C:\Users\ali alaobali\Downloads\caffe\caffe
then write the order in cmd
scripts\build_win.cmd
