According to what I understand there is some sort of error with python 3.6. Is it that this is built only for versions till python 3.5 ? Please suggest me the solution

[willyd]

You are correct. I have built caffe's dependencies for python 2.7 and 3.5. So the automatic download of those dependencies fails since you have 3.6.

You can build your own version of the dependencies with python 3.6 using caffe-builder.

@Coderx7 had success at compiling the dependencies for python 3.6 as documented here: willyd/caffe-builder#46

[Coderx7]

In case you want the prebuilt libraries for python3.6 , here it is; libraries_v140_x64_py36_1.1.0.tar.bz2. note that you need to alter several sections in WindowsDownloadPrebuiltDependencies.cmake ,download_prebuilt_dependencies.py and needless to say the build_win.cmd config file. if you open those, you know what to do. its straight forward.
if you want, you can use my branch for this as well.

I'm getting almost the same error on Windows-10.
here is Error.

In case you want the prebuilt libraries for python3.6 , here it is; libraries_v140_x64_py36_1.1.0.tar.bz2. note that you need to alter several sections in WindowsDownloadPrebuiltDependencies.cmake ,download_prebuilt_dependencies.py and needless to say the build_win.cmd config file. if you open those, you know what to do. its straight forward.

Hi @Coderx7,

Using your dependency prebuilt(for python 3.6) for building caffe, takes hdf5 debug library instead of release version even the library pre-built is available for debug and release both in tar, because CMake/hdf5-target-release.cmake file is not available. Due to that the caffe build does not work on all the windows machines as it copies the hdf5*_D.dll but caffe does not copy the dependent debug dlls from the Visual Studio.
I copied the generated hdf5-target-release.cmake file in Users/.caffe/dependencies/libraries_v140_x64_py36_1.1.0/CMake directory and generated caffe build. This has resolved dependency on debug dlls.

It will be helpful if you can upload the updated tar.bz2 at the same url so that manual copying can be avoided.

Thanks,
Maulik
