Compiling C/C + + interface of TensorFlow

Keywords: C++ Makefile Python sudo Session

TensorFlow's Python interface is popular because of its convenience and practicability, but we may need other programming language interfaces in practical application. This article will introduce how to compile TensorFlow's C/C + + interface.

Installation environment:
Ubuntu 16.04
Python 3.5
CUDA 9.0
cuDNN 7
Bazel 0.17.2
TensorFlow 1.11.0

1. Install Bazel

  • Install JDK sudo apt get install openjdk-8-jdk
  • Add Bazel software source
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list
curl https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

2. Compile TensorFlow Library

You have bazel 0.17.2 installed.
Please specify the location of python. [Default is /usr/bin/python]: /usr/bin/python3.5


Found possible Python library paths:
  /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

Please specify the cuDNN version you want to use. [Leave empty to default to cuDNN 7]: 


Please specify the location where cuDNN 7 library is installed. Refer to README.md for more details. [Default is /usr/local/cuda]: 


Do you wish to build TensorFlow with TensorRT support? [y/N]: n
No TensorRT support will be enabled for TensorFlow.

Please specify the locally installed NCCL version you want to use. [Default is to use https://github.com/nvidia/nccl]: 


Please specify a list of comma-separated Cuda compute capabilities you want to build with.
You can find the compute capability of your device at: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus.
Please note that each additional compute capability significantly increases your build time and binary size. [Default is: 6.1]: 


Do you want to use clang as CUDA compiler? [y/N]: n
nvcc will be used as CUDA compiler.

Please specify which gcc should be used by nvcc as the host compiler. [Default is /usr/bin/gcc]: 


Do you wish to build TensorFlow with MPI support? [y/N]: n
No MPI support will be enabled for TensorFlow.

Please specify optimization flags to use during compilation when bazel option "--config=opt" is specified [Default is -march=native]: 


Would you like to interactively configure ./WORKSPACE for Android builds? [y/N]: n
Not configuring the WORKSPACE for Android builds.

Preconfigured Bazel build configs. You can use any of the below by adding "--config=<>" to your build command. See .bazelrc for more details.
    --config=mkl             # Build with MKL support.
    --config=monolithic      # Config for mostly static monolithic build.
    --config=gdr             # Build with GDR support.
    --config=verbs           # Build with libverbs support.
    --config=ngraph          # Build with Intel nGraph support.
Configuration finished
  • Enter tensorflow directory for compilation. After the compilation is successful, the file libtensorflow · cc.so will appear in / bazel bin / tensorflow directory
Version C: bazel build: libtensorflow.so
 C + + version: bazel build: libtensorflow? Cc.so

3. Compile other dependencies

  • Enter the tensorflow/contrib/makefile directory, run. / build · all · linux.sh, and a gen folder will appear after success
  • If the following error occurs / autogen.sh: 4: autoreconf: not found, install the corresponding dependency to sudo apt get install Autoconf automake libtool

  • If you are prompted that some header files are missing, search the specific path in the root directory of tensorflow, and then add them to the Cmakelist.
