[Caffe] Install Caffe and the depended packages

This article is just for me to quickly record the all the steps to install the depended packages for Caffe. So, be careful that it maybe is not good for you to walk through them in your environment. ^_^

# Caffe

git clone https://github.com/BVLC/caffe.git
cd caffe
vi Makefile.config

# Test a program

blob_demo.cpp

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <caffe/blob.hpp>
using namespace caffe;
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
  Blob<float> a;
  cout<<"Size : "<< a.shape_string()<<endl;
  a.Reshape(1, 2, 3, 4); 
  cout<<"Size : "<< a.shape_string()<<endl;
   
  float * p = a.mutable_cpu_data();
  for(int i = 0; i < a.count(); i++)
  {
    p[i] = i;
  }
  for(int u = 0; u < a.num(); u++)
  {
    for(int v = 0; v < a.channels(); v++)
    {   
      for(int w = 0; w < a.height(); w++)
      {   
        for(int x = 0; x < a.width(); x++)
        {   
          cout<<"a["<<u<<"]["<<v<<"]["<<w<<"]["<<x<<"] = "<< a.data_at(u, v, w, x)<<endl;
        }   
      }   
    }   
  }
 
  cout<<"ASUM = "<<a.asum_data()<<endl;
  cout<<"SUMSQ = "<<a.sumsq_data()<<endl;
 
  return 0;
}

  Setup environment variables and compile the example code

$ export CAFFE_ROOT=/home/liudanny/git/caffe
$ export CAFFE_DPKG_INCLUDE=/home/liudanny/local_install/include
$ export CAFFE_DPKG_LIB=/home/liudanny/local_install/lib
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CAFFE_ROOT/build/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ g++ -o app blob_demo.cpp -I $CAFFE_ROOT/include/ -I $CAFFE_DPKG_INCLUDE/ -D CPU_ONLY -I $CAFFE_ROOT/.build_release/src/ -L $CAFFE_ROOT/build/lib/ -L $CAFFE_DPKG_LIB/ -lcaffe -lglog

  

  Run the program app

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CAFFE_ROOT/build/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ ./app
Size : (0)
Size : 1 2 3 4 (24)
a[0][0][0][0] = 0
a[0][0][0][1] = 1
a[0][0][0][2] = 2
a[0][0][0][3] = 3
a[0][0][1][0] = 4
a[0][0][1][1] = 5
a[0][0][1][2] = 6
a[0][0][1][3] = 7
a[0][0][2][0] = 8
a[0][0][2][1] = 9
a[0][0][2][2] = 10
a[0][0][2][3] = 11
a[0][1][0][0] = 12
a[0][1][0][1] = 13
a[0][1][0][2] = 14
a[0][1][0][3] = 15
a[0][1][1][0] = 16
a[0][1][1][1] = 17
a[0][1][1][2] = 18
a[0][1][1][3] = 19
a[0][1][2][0] = 20
a[0][1][2][1] = 21
a[0][1][2][2] = 22
a[0][1][2][3] = 23
ASUM = 276
SUMSQ = 4324

P.S:
I also write a Makefile for all of these tedious work:

CAFFE_ROOT = /home/liudanny/git/caffe
CAFFE_DPKG_INCLUDE = /home/liudanny/local_install/include
CAFFE_DPKG_LIB = /home/liudanny/local_install/lib

CC = g++
CFLAGS = -I $(CAFFE_ROOT)/include/ -I $(CAFFE_DPKG_INCLUDE)/ -D CPU_ONLY -I $(CAFFE_ROOT)/.build_release/src/
LDFLAGS =  -L $(CAFFE_ROOT)/build/lib/ -L $(CAFFE_DPKG_LIB)/ 
LIBS = -lcaffe -lglog

all: app

app: main.o
 $(CC) main.o -o app $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS)

main.o:
 $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c main.cpp

clean:
 rm -f main.o app
