Tensorflow C library "available" for Windows?

Question

The release notes for tensorflow 1.2 says that

• TensorFlow C library now available for Windows.

Nice. However the page dedicated to the C API on tensorflow's web site gives instructions for Linux and Mac OS X only.

What do the authors means when they say a Windows C library is "available", especially when they do not officially support building from sources on Windows? Is there a precompiled binary somewhere?

Answer 1

All "official" builds are listed here: https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow (also can be downloaded from there )

Answer 2

Remark, that there are newer versions of the tensorflow c api for windows. If you change the version number at the end of the URL, you can download the latest versions. Current is:

https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/libtensorflow/libtensorflow-cpu-windows-x86_64-1.9.0.zip

Answer 3

you can use pywrap_tensorflow_internal.lib as well. then you get cpu and gpu usage, too.

the things you need are

• c_api.h which you can get here
• pywrap_tensorflow_internal.lib from your python installation
• _pywrap_tensorflow_internal.pyd from your python installation

Answer 4

The documentation hasn't been updated yet, although in the meantime you can download the library here:
