Unable to create TFWordBeamSearch.so file in windows

sai36 opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Error while running the buildTF.sh file in windows using git bash.
Error message:

../src/TFWordBeamSearch.cpp:1:10: fatal error: tensorflow/core/framework/op.h: No such file or directory
#include <tensorflow/core/framework/op.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

g++ version:
g++ (MinGW.org GCC-8.2.0-3) 8.2.0

Operating System: Windows 10.

Searched in the system for the header file and it was present.
Included the path in the environmental variables but the error persists.

TensorFlow does not support custom operations on Windows.

Hi Harald,

Thank you for providing such a good code. Unfortunately, I have the same problem. I tried to locate TFWordBeamSearch.so. I couldn't find it! Could you please upload TFWordBeamSearch.so?

I'm using ubuntu. Please look at the problem:

There is now the possibility to use word beam search in Windows too:
Instead of compiling into a TensorFlow operation, compile into a Python package instead, which uses NumPy arrays as input.
See this section in the README.

SimpleHTR now uses the Python package instead of the TF operation, so SimpleHTR + word beam search can now also be used on Windows 👍 .
