Solutions to pycaffe LINK error :__imp__Py_NegativeRefcount, __imp__Py_Dealloc, __imp__Py_RefTotal

[zhouphd]

When compile the project of pycaffe , I found errors on the output window:
15>_caffe.obj : error LNK2019: __imp__Py_NegativeRefcount
15>_caffe.obj : error LNK2019: __imp__Py_Dealloc
15>_caffe.obj : error LNK2001: __imp__Py_RefTotal
15>..\Build\x64\Debug_caffe.pyd : fatal error LNK1120:

These may be cause by the python config problem on windows, the solution is below:
Firstly, comment the define Py_DEBUG on pyconfig.h:
line 379 #ifdef _DEBUG
line 380 //# define Py_DEBUG
line 381 #endif

Change
line 338 # pragma comment(lib,"python27_d.lib")
into
line 338 # pragma comment(lib,"python27.lib")

Then, commment the line 56 on object.h
line 55 #if defined(Py_DEBUG) && !defined(Py_TRACE_REFS)
line 56 //#define Py_TRACE_REFS
line 57 #endif

pyconfig.h & object.h can be find at your $PythonHome/include directory
for Miniconda 2, it's C:\Miniconda2\include

Good luck, :)
