Installing py-faster-rcnn without CUDA (CPU only) on windows

[radhikat]

I've been through the issues raised here on installing py-faster-rcnn without cuda and on windows and still can't get it to setup, hence the question here finally.

1. I removed all instances of cuda from setup.py and other files as instructed on How to setup with CPU ONLY mode #123
2. I think I correctly got rid of the MSVCCompiler instance has no attribute 'compiler_so'. by changing the setup.py file to not use the custom_build_ext as this would be a CPU only build on windows how to install py-faster-rcnn on windows #205
3. Now I have the following error:
   cythoning utils/bbox.pyx to utils\bbox.c
   [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ... bbox.pyx'

I have tried all that I could think of, and I still cannot set it up using python .\lib\setup.py build_ext --inplace, any help would be very much appreciated.

Also, if I am going about this set up all wrong, knowing that would be helpful too!

Thanks a lot!

Why closed the issue? Have you solved the problem?

[radhikat]

Yes,I have indeed. py-faster-rcnn still gives me errors when I try to train something, but its nothing to do with the installation but more so with me not having my concepts clear and I am working on that!

@radhikat can you share the solutions? Facing the same problem now.
