Caffe Windows compilation

First, the compilation environment

1. Download Caffe Windows edition source code

Https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows

2.CUDA

Cuda 7.5 or 8.0 (use Cuda 8 if using Visual Studio 2015)

3.cuDNN V5

Copy the downloaded Bin,include and Lib to the CUDA corresponding directory (my: C:\Program files\nvidia GPU Computing toolkit\cuda\v7.5).

4.Matlab

r2016b (my version)

5.Anaconda Python 2.7

Https://conda.io/miniconda.html

After downloading, double-click the executable program to install to C:\MINICONDA2.

After installation, start Cmd.exe, enter Conda list to see some installation packages;

Update Conda Package

Conda Update Conda

Installing NumPy

Install NumPy

Second, compile

Enter the Caffe\windows directory, copy the CommonSettings.props.example file to Commonsettings.props (the bold part is the modification), the contents are as follows
