Darknet: Failing to install OpenCV in Windows Powershell

[mrxiaohe]

I have Windows Sever 2016 Standard, and I am following your Windows darknet installation guide. I installed vcpkg, and made sure things were working by running vcpkg install opengl, which ran just fine. I added the VCPKG_ROOT and VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET environment variables.

When I tried installing OpenCV in the Powershell, I got the following error:

I wonder if there is a way to resolve this. Thanks!

@mrxiaohe Hi,

c:\program files\nvidia gpu computing toolkit\cuda\v9.0\include\crt/host_config.h(133): fatal error C1189: #error: -- unsupported Microsoft Visual Studio version! Only the versions 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017 are supported!

What Microsoft Visual Studio version do you use?

[mrxiaohe]

I actually don't use Visual Studio, but I have the 2017 version installed on the server. It came with the server already installed, but doesn't actually have a license, which is why I don't use it. I am not sure if that is the problem?

[AlexeyAB]

Yes, this is the problem. You should install MSVS 2017 with C++, for example MSVS 2017 Community that is free: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15#

[mrxiaohe]

I downloaded and installed MSVS 2017 with C++.

when I tried compiling opencv[cuda] I got the same error. The full error log is below:

error.txt

[cenit]

unfortunately VS 2017 is compatible only with CUDA 10. If you want to use CUDA 9 you must install VS 2015 (the free community version is perfect). Please also remove VS2017 in case you want to downgrade VS. Otherwise just install CUDA 10 and you should fix the problems

Hi @AlexeyAB I have similar problem (but not same), I did all the instruction to compile in Windows, after I input .\vcpkg install pthreads opencv[cuda] the installation stuck at Building x64-windows-dbg , and after 1 hour waiting it showed error? Full trace :

Additionally, attach any relevant sections from the log files above.

It is possible that it's not stuck. OpenCV with cuda support is very slow to build. On my laptop, it takes more than two hours...
To check the progress, just go into C:/vcpkg/buildtrees/opencv/install-x64-windows-dbg-out.log and see the build output. There are thousands of files to be built and the log should refresh every few seconds to describe progress

[ivder]

@cenit Yes, after 1 hour it throws the error I've posted above

[cenit]

could you please post the content of C:\vcpkg\buildtrees\opencv\install-x64-windows-dbg-out.log and C:\vcpkg\buildtrees\opencv\install-x64-windows-dbg-err.log (this last one may be mepty)? Otherwise it's very difficult to understand the problem

[megaschluck]

@AlexeyAB , @cenit
Hey guys,

got this error while installing Yolo with vcpgk.
I run .\vcpkg install pthreads opencv[cuda,ffmpeg]

Using MSVS 2017.

install-x64-windows-dbg-out.log

your help is much appreciated!

Ole

[cenit]

your problem is nvcc error : 'cicc' died with status 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) (line 16878 of your log)

Can you tell your CUDA version and Visual Studio version? Please try to update both to latest release, if possible

[megaschluck]

Thank you for your quick help.

CUDA: 10.1
Visual Studio: 15.9.17

[cenit]

hard disk space and ram available? Just to understand your problem. It might be also related to GPU driver. In any case, it's a nvidia compiler + MSVC issue, not a darknet one, so try change that combination if possible to try to fix the error

[jubaer-ad]

Thanks a lot @cenit .
I was about to give up on this method as it seems to be frozen. But the install-x64-windows-dbg-out.log is updating to a completion goal of 1131. Huge help man.

[cenit]

building darknet with opencv-cuda is VERY slow and time consuming. Patience will be your best ally. Keep strong 🤣

@cenit Can you please check this #4926
