Fairseq: Trouble building Light/DynamicConv CUDA kernels on Windows

[GeorgeS2019]

I know this is against the conditions for support, some of us are just simply stubborn.

Having this Tag may just help us gather and share our challenges.

I like to get feedback who have tried to compile the cuda part in windows

https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/issues/1395

cd fairseq/modules/lightconv_layer
python cuda_function_gen.py
python setup.py install

to install dynamicconv

cd fairseq/modules/dynamicconv_layer
python cuda_function_gen.py
python setup.py install

Created the windows label :)

@myleott
Can you please check if this is problem specific to Windows platform? I do not have this problem with WSL (Windows Subsystems Linux; Ubuntu18) within Windows 10.

@myleott => please add the WIndows Tag
This is VERY important for Windows, Cuda for Pay Less Attention

For me, it seems this paper, especially the dynamic version, deserves more elaboration so others can evaluate HOW EXACTLY LESS ATTENTION WINS!!!!
