Windows10上使用VS2017编译MXNet源码操作步骤(C++)
MXNet是一种开源的深度学习框架，核心代码是由C++实现。MXNet官网推荐使用VS2015或VS2017编译，因为源码中使用了一些C++14的特性，VS2013是不支持的。这里通过VS2017编译，步骤如下：
1. 编译OpenCV，版本为3.4.2，可参考 https://blog.csdn.net/fengbingchun/article/details/78163217 ，注意加入opencv_contrib模块；
2. 编译OpenBLAS,版本为0.3.3，可参考： https://blog.csdn.net/fengbingchun/article/details/55509764 ；
3. 编译dmlc-core,版本为0.3：
4. 下载mshadow,注意不能是1.0或1.1版本，只能是master，因为它们的文件名不一致，里面仅有头文件；
5. 编译tvm,版本为0.4，在编译MXNet时，目前仅需要nnvm/src下的c_api, core, pass三个目录的文件参与：
6. 编译dlpack,版本为最新master，commit为bee4d1d，
7. 编译MXNet，版本为1.3.0：
8. 使用mxnet/cpp-package/scripts/OpWrapperGenerator.py生成mxnet/cpp-package/include/mxnet-cpp目录下的op.h文件操作步骤：
(1). 将lib/rel/x64目录下的libmxnet.dll和libopenblas.dll两个动态库拷贝到mxnet/cpp-package/scripts/目录下；
(2). 在mxnet/cpp-package/scripts/目录下打开命令行提示符，执行：
python OpWrapperGenerator.py libmxnet.dll(3). 修改生成的op.h文件中的两处UpSampling函数：将参数scale,修改为int scale;将参数num_filter = 0,修改为int num_filter = 0; 注：直接通过以下命令生成op.h文件时不用作任何修改，后面查找下原因
git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet注意：
(1). 关于MXNet中的依赖库介绍和使用可参考：https://blog.csdn.net/fengbingchun/article/details/84981969
(2). 为了正常编译整个工程，部分源码作了微小的调整；
(3). 所有项目依赖的版本如下：

在Windows上编译MXNet_Test工程时注意事项：
(1). clone MXNet_Test到E:/GitCode目录下；
(2). MXNet_Test使用VS2017既可在windows7 x64上编译，也可在Windows10 x64上编译；
(3). 由于每个人的机子上VS2017安装的Windows SDK版本不同，可能会导致出现"error MSB8036: 找不到 Windows SDK 版本10.0.17134.0"类似的错误，解决方法是：选中指定的项目，打开属性页，在配置属性->常规->Windows SDK版本中重新选择你已安装的Windows SDK版本即可。
