darknet.sln does not build

[anhminh3105]

Hello,

I try to compile darknet following your intructions on VS 2017 but when I build darknet, the output always logs Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped. I have try seveval ways but it still couldn't be fixed.

My CUDA,cuDNN verions and my system variables are shown below:

here is the property of darknet.sln:

Also, I tried to set CUDA 9.1 to ``CUDA 9.0...``` but it does not fix the problem.

Could you please help me figure this out I'm really stuck here.

@anhminh3105 Hi,

• Did you build x64 and Release?

As desribed here:

How to compile on Windows:
If you have MSVS 2015, CUDA 9.1, cuDNN 7.0 and OpenCV 3.x (with paths: C:\opencv_3.0\opencv\build\include & C:\opencv_3.0\opencv\build\x64\vc14\lib), then start MSVS, open build\darknet\darknet.sln, set x64 and Release https://hsto.org/webt/uh/fk/-e/uhfk-eb0q-hwd9hsxhrikbokd6u.jpeg and do the: Build -> Build darknet.

CUDA doesn't support 32-bit, so if you want to build 32-bit with Release or Debug, then try to compile darknet_no_gpu.sln without GPU supporting.

yes I did it. Also I tried other combinations but it's still the same.

Now I'm following this issue #1455 (comment) but weirdly I don't have the branch CUDA C/C++ on the left pane in properties.

Can you show fullscreen screenshot with this error?

Thanks for your responds and supports, I finally made it work after nearly a day of struggle. Actually no error was prompted and I was quite clueless.

Here is how I did:

1. Followed your hint from this link darknet.sln load failed #550 (comment) I change the CUDA version to my current one.

2. Then picked up the step from this instruction which took this reference I copied the .props file (mine is Microsoft.VCToolsVersion.14.11.props at this time) to the build folder and added an extra line in darknet.vcxproj to import this file.

Then the build works!
(For those whom got this problem and do this but it still doesn't build then try switching between the Platform Toolset in darknet.vcxproj>Right Click>Properties to Visual Studio 2015 v140 and the newest , mine is Visual Studio 2017 v141 at this time)
