When I make caffe makefile with command make all -j4, there is an error on line 605 of makeprofile, Im not sure is there anything wrong or not, I didn't edit this line. It seem to be a wrong version of cuda? or for other reason...

error message：

  • These messages are simply make telling you that the compile failed. You have to post the failure messages from the compiler if you want help solving that problem. – MadScientist Mar 07 '19 at 22:00
  • oh sorry, I have complete the error message,so is there something wrong with nvcc? – Proth DU Mar 07 '19 at 22:26
  • I assume. I don't know what nvcc is or what those options mean. Maybe someone familiar with caffe will know. – MadScientist Mar 08 '19 at 00:34
  • fine..thx anyway – Proth DU Mar 08 '19 at 08:10
  • For some reason, the SM compute capability code is not provided to `nvcc`, It must be something like `-gencode arch=compute_62,code=sm_62` – Dmytro Prylipko Mar 09 '19 at 09:44
  • See this post for detailed explanation on `arch` and `code` options: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35656294/cuda-how-to-use-arch-and-code-and-sm-vs-compute – Dmytro Prylipko Mar 09 '19 at 09:45
  • Please, update the question with the variables in your `Makefile.config`. – fabda01 Mar 11 '19 at 23:55
  • umm...actually I have installed caffe2 by pytorch instead, but still thank you for advise I will try it later and update the config profile, another reason I thought maybe is CUDA 10.0, I will also try older version later – Proth DU Mar 13 '19 at 08:57
