Windows VS2015 + dlib + cuda Environment setup

1. Tools Required: VS2015 (UPDATA3), Dlib (19.7), CUDA (9.2), Cmake,

VS2015 need updata3 version, because dlib in DNN module needs VS2015 and above, and cuda load needs VS2015 version updata3 (VS2017 did not try to load cuda, so it is not clear the specifics).

Dlib version supports DNN and other modules, it is recommended to download 19.x version

Steps:

1. Installing VS2015

2. Download Dlib: Dlib official website

Need to add environment variables

3. Download and install Cuda: Cuda Download (9.2)

After downloading the direct default installation, after the final installation is completed there are three options boxes, click the last one (the first two is selected by default) with VS2015 open cuda test file, run will generate run test EXE file.

4. Download the CMake and install . CMake Download

Select the version of your computer to download and install by default

Click the GUI file

The first path fills the Lib path

The second path fills the CMake generated file path (custom folder, place build Dlib project)

Visual Studio Win64 is the updata3 version of VS2015

will then run automatically,

If the computer is installed with Cuda and VS2015 is the UPDATA3 version, then the Dlib_use_cuda will appear after the marquee, you can choose, otherwise you cannot select (OFF).

When you're done, click the Configure,open Project button to open the Dlib project with VS2015.

Depending on the Release/debug and 64/32 bit different options, running the Dlib file can generate different lib files.

Test:

Set up the VS2015 project, you can download the test code on the Dlib website.

Include Directories: Paths to add Dlib and Cuda, (OpenCV path)

Library Directory Installation cuda lib file path (OpenCV path)

The C + + preprocessor adds:

Dlib_png_support
Dlib_jpeg_support
Dlib_jpeg_static
Dlib_use_cuda
