Tensorflow

System information

  • OS - High Sierra 10.13
  • Tensorflow - 1.4
  • Xcode command line tools - 8.2 (Download from here: Xcode - Support - Apple Developer & Switch to different clang version: sudo xcode-select --switch/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools & check version: clang -v)
  • Cmake - 3.7
  • Bazel - 0.7.0
  • CUDA - 9
  • cuDNN - 7

Requirements

  • sudo pip install six numpy wheel
  • brew install coreutils

Step-by-step guide

Remove all align(sizeof(T)) from following files:

  • tensorflow/core/kernels/depthwise_conv_op_gpu.cu.cc

  • tensorflow/core/kernels/split_lib_gpu.cu.cc

  • tensorflow/core/kernels/concat_lib_gpu.impl.cu.cc

    For example, extern shared __align(sizeof(T))__ unsigned char smem[]; => extern shared unsigned char smem[];

Steps:

  • Disable SIP (in recovery mode enter command: csrutil disable)
  • ./configure (Find CUDA compute value from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) 
    Smit-Shilu:tensorflow-build smitshilu$ ./configure

However, when I check my filesystem, libcudart.9.1.dylib does appear to be in the correct place.

Obviously I am a noob at this, and I'm not sure what @rpath is or why it's unable to see the correct files. Can someone point me in the right direction?

@smitshilu, any ideas?

@bossbobster, can you explain exactly how you fixed it?

@webprogrammingsolutions

@smitshilu I was able to finally get tensorflow to compile and install once I created a bunch of CUDA symlinks in /usr/local/bin/. Basically I kept trying to compile, and then after each error I would create a symlink for the file causing the error.

After installing the compiled wheel package, i tried a test import

python
import tensorflow as tf

This brings up a new error:

ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so, 6): Symbol not found: _PyCObject_Type

Any thoughts?

@ur001 I am getting the same error. Were you ever able to find a resolution?

--EDIT--
I'm just posting this here incase anyone else runs into the same issue @ur001 and I have had. Through my search I came across another link found here that was similar to the above instructions but for TF1.5. https://tweakmind.com/tensorflow-1-5-macos-10-13-2/

Now when I followed the instructions there I was having a different issue and unable to fully complete it due to another issue. However I noticed that I did have the latest version of xcode 9 that they referred to and it will cause the same error I was having and I noticed that both of these installs referenced 8.x. So I went down this path and followed the instructions that were advised when receiving the clang issue. After completing this, my install went through fine.

If Latest Xcode is installed:

/usr/bin/cc --version
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)

You will get the following error:
nvcc fatal : The version ('90000') of the host compiler ('Apple clang') is not supported

To fix, install Xcode 8.3.3 and set as default
https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_8.3.3/Xcode8.3.3.xip

Double Click to Install, Archive Utility will Expand (takes some time)

cd ~/Downloads
mv Xcode.app Xcode-8.3.3.app
sudo mv Xcode-8.3.3.app /Applications
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-8.3.3.app
sudo xcodebuild -license

-- AFTER THE WHEEL IS INSTALLED THEN SET BACK ORIGINAL XCODE INSTALL --
Switch back to Current Xcode
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app

@ghost gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-fobjc-link-runtime'
I see that you got this error as well, I got it during the bazel build of another tool. Did you find a fix?

@anubhavjaiswal03 I would suggest installing bazel again and try .7 or .9 version.

@anubhavjaiswal03 Install bazel 0.7 (Compile from the bazel release and uninstall the homebrew version because homebrew forces you to use the latest xcode and there isn't an official .7 on tap via homebrew, if there was then you could just run sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/ to switch back to the current version of xcode)

I got tensorflow compiled successfully but getting error while generating a wheel for installation.

I got tensorflow compiled successfully but getting no output when using it.

Python 3.6.3 (default, Jan 31 2018, 13:53:45) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.__version__
'1.5.0-rc0'
>>> session = tf.Session()

The last line won't be executed. No output, no new interpreter line... Any ideas?

Update: It was my own fault. Something went wrong with my CUDA installation.

I wrote a short blog post about my successful Tensorflow 1.6-rc1 build. https://byai.io/howto-tensorflow-1-6-on-mac-with-gpu-acceleration/

@anubhavjaiswal03 @MichaelScript i was unable to install bazel 0.7. For me the trick was to comment out line 69 in .../external/io_bazel_rules_closure/closure/repositories.bzl: # _check_bazel_version("Closure Rules", "0.4.5")

Running in new error:

env: python: No such file or directory
Target //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package failed to build

python is definitely within the PATH and can also be called with /usr/bin/env python.
Looks like this is related: tensorflow/tensorflow#15618
Any ideas?

Try running ./configure again and set python environment variables properly

I'm getting error:

ERROR: Inconsistent crosstool configuration; no toolchain corresponding to 'local_darwin' found for cpu 'darwin'

however I have installed brew install gcc@7 and ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc-7 /usr/bin/gcc so not sure why still using clang instead of GCC, perhaps another issue?

@smitshilu.. thank you!
Will this fix also work for AMD GPUs? or do I have to switch to an NVIDIA GPU

@swathishesh19 it will work with NVIDIA only. For now tensorflow supports officially NVIDIA GPUs only

@coocoorhin what path are you passing while you are running ./configuration? If you check in this line
Please specify the location where CUDA 9.0 toolkit is installed. Refer to README.md for more details. [Default is /usr/local/cuda]:
Defult path is /usr/local/cuda so export the same path even default installation path is different

i did just as he did, instead of leaving default i changed it to Developers.......
