no such package '@png_archive//

[yanhaiming56]

When I compile tensorflow 1.10 from source code on windows10, it reported the error "no such package '@png_archive//"
I have installed the bazel, msys2, vs2017 and set the environment of PAHT,bazel_sh,bazel_vc.

Please provide details about what platform you are using (operating system, architecture). Also include your TensorFlow version. Also, did you compile from source or install a binary?

Make sure you also include the exact command if possible to produce the output included in your test case. If you are unclear what to include see the issue template displayed in the Github new issue template.

We ask for this in the issue submission template, because it is really difficult to help without that information. Thanks!

@yanhaiming56 Can you provide information about which Bazel version you are using and the exact error message?
Although you shouldn't have to, but did you try run bazel clean --expunge before running the build command?

OS centos 7
tf version 1.9.0
bazel version 0.15.2
cuda version 9.0
cudnn version 7201
nccl version 2.2.13

I compiled tf-serving 1.9.0 , and this error occured while loading @org_tensorflow. Here is my compiling comand

bazel build -c opt --color=yes --curses=yes --config=cuda --verbose_failures --local_resources=4096,1.0,1.0 --output_filter=DONT_MATCH_ANYTHING --copt=-mavx --cxxopt=-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 tensorflow_serving/model_servers:tensorflow_model_server

Actually, there was nothing happened while using ubuntu. But our project forced us to use centos, and I met this error.

@elvys-zhang Can you provide the exact error message Bazel output? I'm not able to reproduce the same issue on my Linux machine.

[PinkySan]

Having the same problem.
Windows 10
bazel 0.16.1
tensorflow 1.10.1

bazel --output_user_root=build_temp build -c opt --copt=/arch:AVX tensorflow:libtensorflow_cc.so

got this command from the \tensorflow\tools\ci_build\windows\libtensorflow_cpu.sh
Error message:

Stdout:
Stderr: /usr/bin/bash: patch: Could not find command
and referenced by '//tensorflow/core/platform/default/build_config:png'

@meteorcloudy Have figured it out. I missed some info before. After installing patch by "yum install -y patch", it worked fine. Thx.

@PinkySan Please refer to this doc to build TF on windows:
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_sources_windows

You should not be building libtensorflow_cc.so on windows.
However, the problem you are facing is due to missing packages on your system
/usr/bin/bash: patch: Could not find command
Please see the bazel installation instructions, and make sure you follow all the steps.

Looks like the initial report is missing vital information, and later reported issues do not seem to fully relate to the original issue.
Closing until we get the detailed information we need to debug.

@gunan

You should not be building libtensorflow_cc.so on windows.

How can we use C++ Tensorflow on Windows therefore?

[gunan]

@meteorcloudy @asimshankar to include in the discussion.
But the ".so" file extensions are the shared object extensions for linux.
Unless bazel intelligently replaces the "so" with "dll", your OS would be confused trying to load the resulting "so" file.

If bazel does this intelligently, still our build target should not have the "so" extension.
It should just be libtensorflow, and on macos the result will be a dylib, on windows it will be a dll, on linux it will be a so.
