building caffe issue fatal error LNK1104 cannot open file python36.lib

[ardeal]

Hi,
I tried to build caffe on Windows 10 and VS2015.
The Python version on my computer is Python3.5, however, I encountered the following issue while building the code:

Do you have any solution about the issue?

Thanks and Best Regards,

This issue is quite weird:
if I change my python to 3.6, the issue on VS2015 is: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python35.lib'

however, If I change my python to 3.5, the issue on VS2015 is LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python36.lib'

I have the problem as you,the Python version on my computer is Python 3.5,the issue on VS2015 is: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python36.lib'.
Have you sovled the problem?

@SCUT-chenjia
Yes, I have solved it.
I remembered I tried to delete the build folder and re-generated everything to fixed this issue.
But I didn't use this version of Caffe finally. I still used BVLC caffe which could be easily built on VS2015.

@ardeal
Thanks,I'll try BVLC caffe

I would like to install this Caffe version using Python 3.5 or higher. @SCUT-chenjia I tried deleting the build folder and re-generate everything but with no success. Do you or anyone else have specific instructions on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

@adeldaoud ,
You could tried to log BUILD_python and python_version in the root CMakeLists.txt file to make sure they are set correctly.
