example-cpp/mnist_demo build tf-trt example fails

[IJunSang]

Hello,
I'm using 'nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorflow:22.07-tf2-py3' container.

When I try to build TF-TRT example, I get error message

root@196ef112f21c:/workspace/tensorrt/tftrt/examples-cpp/mnist_demo/build# make
[ 25%] Built target tf_symlinks

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:77: CMakeFiles/tf_trt_example.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Error 2

so, I edited CMakeList.txt(line15, 47) file and /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/tensorflow/include/tensorflow/compiler/tf2tensorrt/common/utils.h

from 
find_path(trt_include_path NAME NvInfer.h HINTS)
to 
find_path(trt_include_path NAME NvInfer.h HINTS /usr/local/cuda/targets/x86_64-linux/include)

from 
#include "third_party/tensorrt/NvInfer.h"
to
#include <NvInfer.h>

and added code at line 47

target_include_directories(tf_trt_example PRIVATE /usr/local/cuda/targets/x86_64-linux/include)

after change the code I faced error

is there any solution can solve errors?

thanks.

@IJunSang, please check that the CXX11_ABI flag is set to 1 on line 37 of CMakeLists.txt:

target_compile_options(tf_trt_example PRIVATE -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 -DGOOGLE_CUDA -DGOOGLE_TENSORRT)

The example should build without errors when using your workaround and the above CXX11_ABI value.

@tfeher could you help with the original compilation error? It doesn't seem like any of the changes between 22.06 and 22.07 should be causing this issue.
