openvino-windows: Raise error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

[JustinInAI]

Clone source code from below link: https://github.com/mlperf/inference_results_v0.5/tree/master/closed/Intel/code/ssd-small/openvino-windows

List LNK2019: unresolved external symbol too much on the Visual Studio 2017.

Did you encounter this symptom? How to solve this issue?

Hi @JustinInAI, I've just sent an email to Intel colleagues in charge of OpenVINO. Hope they can help you soon.

Hi @JustinInAI: At what step do you encounter these errors?
Could you post a sample of the LNK2019 error?

[JustinInAI]

Hi attafosu,
I refer https://github.com/mlperf/inference_results_v0.5/tree/master/closed/Intel/code/ssd-small/openvino-windows.

Below is reproduce step:

1. setup environment and download
   pip install absl-py
   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mlperf/inference.git mlperf_inference
   cd mlperf_inference\loadgen
   git checkout 413dbabcb30dc2ee1fe42e7b8090b37e8144617d
   git pull origin pull/482/head
   git pull origin pull/489/head
   git pull origin pull/502/head

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

copy Release/mlperf_loadgen.lib ..\

2. build inference project from dldt
   git clone https://github.com/opencv/dldt.git
   cd c:\dldt\inference-engine
   mkdir build
   open cmake from start menu
   Where is the source code: c:\dldt\inference-engine
   where to build the binaries: c:\dldt\inference-engine\build
   Click Config button
   Click Generate button
   Build All projects and config set as Release.
   Generate cpu_extension.lib in c:\dldt\inference-engine\bin\intel64\Release\cpu_extension.lib
   Generate inference_engine.lib in c:\dldt\inference-engine\bin\intel64\Release\inference_engine.lib

3. Create & build ov_mlperf project
   cd c:\mlperf_inference
   mkdir ov_mlperf && cd ov_mlperf
   mkdir test
   copy c:\mlperf_inference\loadgen*.h C:\mlperf_inference\ov_mlperf
   copy c:\mlperf_inference\loadgen*.cc C:\mlperf_inference\ov_mlperf
   set "InferenceEngine_DIR=c:\dldt\inference-engine\build"
   set "OpenCV_DIR=c:\dldt\opencv\cmake"
   open cmake from start menu
   Where is the source code: C:/mlperf_inference/ov_mlperf
   Where to build the binaries: C:/mlperf_inference/ov_mlperf/test
   Add below entry in cmake
   DLOADGEN_DIR=C:\mlperf_inference\loadgen
   DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:\boost_1_72_0\boost_1_72_0
   DIE_EXTENSION_LIB=C:\dldt\inference-engine\bin\intel64\Release\cpu_extension.lib
   DIE_LIBRARY=C:\mlperf_inference\dldt\inference-engine\bin\intel64\Release\inference_engine.lib
   DIE_SRC_DIR=C:\mlperf_inference\dldt\inference-engine\src
   DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   Click config button
   Click Generate button

4. Building ov_mlperf projects
   cd C:\mlperf_inference\ov_mlperf\test
   open ALL_BUILD.vcxproj and launch Visual Studio 2017
   Build All projects and config set as Release.

See many LNK2019 error

@JustinInAI Can you copy some of the errors here please? Also, did you really mean to close this ticket?

@JustinInAI A snapshot/sample of the errors would be useful here.
That said, I was able to reproduce a single LNK error (linking x64 ov_mlperf target to x86 mlperf_loadgen.lib). It appears VS2017 generates for target x86 by default.
So I had to regenerate the loadgen solution with:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..
cmake --build . --config Release
and then rebuild ov_mlperf.

@JustinInAI Did @attafosu's advice solve your problem please?

[JustinInAI]

Sorry for replying late It’s solve this problem But the new problem is revise some code from include</boost/...> to include”/boost/...” Have any idea to revise that more efficiency? 2020年3月20日(金) 午前5:55 Anton Lokhmotov <notifications@github.com>:

But the new problem is revise some code from include</boost/...> to
include”/boost/...”

What do you mean @JustinInAI ? Can you perhaps provide a diff between the original code that fails to compile and the code that works?
