Enabling CAFFE2 while building pytorch from source on Windows command prompt

Question

So, I was doing a model train up using Yolo7 on Windows platform and

C:\Users\LENOVO>python train.py --weights yolov7.pt --data "data/custom.yaml" --workers 4 --batch-size 4 --img 416 --cfg cfg/training/yolov7.yaml --name yolov7 --hyp data/hyp.scratch.p5.yaml

After running the above command the below stack trace of error showed up in my command prompt on windows. My question is:

1. How to do the suggestions of the error below? How to enable the BUILD_CAFFE2=1 while building pytorch on my Windows? Not using Conda of course. On my Windows command prompt only.
2. I installed pytorch from using the following source https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch#from-source Install caffe2 using commands from this source https://caffe2.ai/docs/getting-started.html?platform=windows&configuration=compile But the following error still shows while training my model.

I just need to know the command of enabling build_caffe2=1 on windows command prompt.

Answer 1

I have solved the issue but setting BUILD_CAFFE2=1 on the command prompt before installing pytorch, with the following code.

set BUILD_CAFFE2=1
