I have build static libraries on Windows 10 following this post https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/libtorch-static-library/73178/9 9. Now I am trying to build this example code https://github.com/pytorch/examples/blob/master/cpp/dcgan/dcgan.cpp 4  on Windows 10 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 using those static pytorch libraries.
CMakeLists.txt is as follows:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0 FATAL_ERROR)
project(Pytorch_test)find_package(Torch REQUIRED)option(DOWNLOAD_MNIST “Download the MNIST dataset from the internet” ON)
if (DOWNLOAD_MNIST)
message(STATUS “Downloading MNIST dataset”)
execute_process(
COMMAND python ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/…/tools/download_mnist.py
-d ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/data
ERROR_VARIABLE DOWNLOAD_ERROR)
if (DOWNLOAD_ERROR)
message(FATAL_ERROR “Error downloading MNIST dataset: ${DOWNLOAD_ERROR}”)
endif()
endif()add_executable(Pytorch_test C:/Users/ xxxxxx /Downloads/Pytorch_test/test_pytorch.cpp)
target_include_directories(Pytorch_test PUBLIC C:/Users/ xxxxxx /Downloads/pytorch/torch/include/torch/csrc/api/include)
target_include_directories(Pytorch_test PUBLIC C:/Users/xxxxxx/Downloads/pytorch/torch/include)
target_link_libraries(Pytorch_test PRIVATE -Wl,–whole-archive “${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/*.lib”)
set_property(TARGET Pytorch_test PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 14)if (MSVC)
add_custom_command(TARGET Pytorch_test
POST_BUILD
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:Pytorch_test>)
endif (MSVC)
Commands used:
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=“C:\Users\xxxxxx\Downloads\Pytorch_test” -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64
Can someone advise on how to build this correctly? Currently getting some LNK2019 errors while building the solution from the .sln file created after cmake.
