mxnet cpp-package example mlp_cpu.cpp does not compile MSVC 2019 and windows 10

[jbensabat]

Hello
I managed to build mxnet libs and also the op.h file using the python script
trying to compile the file mlp_cpu.cpp I get errors of undefined functions

@jbensabat I think you might have mixed the use of v1.x and master branch. Could you make sure that you are building the library from the v1.x branch?

[jbensabat]

Hi
thanks for your answer
I downloaded it using git
"git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet mxnet"
I am not sure it was version 1.7.0
I was suggested to use this mode of downloading instead of downloading the archive (it did not build with CMAKE)
if this is the case how can I download version 1.7.0 in such a way that I can build ?

@jbensabat before building, you can check out the branch v1.7.x. Which instruction did you follow for building mxnet for cpp?

[jbensabat]

Hi
I tried to download the zip file for version 1.7.x but was unable to build using cmake.
then I was suggested to download using git
"git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet mxnet"
but then I do not know which version is installed.
the library builds but not the cpp-package
I managed to create the op.h file but the functions mentioned above are missing

Those functions are removed from the master branch which is for development of the 2.0 version. If there's any issue in using v1.7.x version for building, I think you can check out v1.x version and build from there.

[jbensabat]

I got that
the question is how do clone using git command above a specific version ?

git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet -b v1.x mxnet
