Build error in CMakeFiles/tensorflow_build

Kaipingli88 · December 2, 2022, 3:05pm

Hi, I am following quick start guide to build by using “python3 ./build_default.py --toolchain arm”. I got build error as below.
[ 6%] Building TensorFlow Lite Micro library… /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: “(” unexpected make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/tensorflow_build.dir/build.make:71: CMakeFiles/tensorflow_build] Error 2 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:537: CMakeFiles/tensorflow_build.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs…

I am new to this project so this question may be sound basic. I checked the files mentioned in above error message and they were CMAKE generated files with “DO NOT EDIT!” notice. Would someone help me to resolve this issue?

Add more info, I just did a fresh clone of the repo and get the same error. My code is synced to tag: 22.11-rc1 (hash:71f282e) and my working tree is clean. Could be some environment setting issue? I will attach build log. It does not allow me to attach the log and seems only picture or image can be attached.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble building the Embedded Evaluation Kit. We are having a look into what can be causing this issue and think we might have found the cause of it. To help us out could you tell what version of Python you are using to run the script?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi @Kaipingli88, it will also be useful to send us the full cmake configuration and build log for us to diagnose the issue.

Thanks,
Kshitij

Hi @Burton2000,

My python version is 3.8.10.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Please see attached build log. I am not sure which file is full cmake configuration so I attached Makefile, cmake_install.cmake, CMakeCache.txt, CTestTestfile.cmake from cmake-build-mps3-sse-300-ethos-u55-128-arm directory.

Many Thanks!

Kaiping

Hi @kshitij-sisodia-arm,

I just tried attached log files by replying to Kshitij Sisodia Arm via Discourse noreply@discuss.mlplatform.org with attachment but it is apparently failed.
Please let me know how to send your required files.

Many Thanks!
Kaiping

Hi @Kaipingli88,

You should be able to attach the log within the message if nothing else works:

cat log_build_default.log 
INFO:root:Downloading resources.
INFO:root:'resources_downloaded' directory exists.
INFO:root:/home/user/ml-embedded-evaluation-kit/resources_downloaded/env/bin/python3 -m pip freeze
INFO:root:cffi==1.14.3

MarkupSafe==1.1.1
numba==0.55.1
numpy==1.21.3
Pillow==7.2.0
pkg_resources==0.0.0
pycparser==2.20

However, while we wait for these logs, one thing you can try straight away is:

Navigate to dependencies/tensorflow from the root of the repo and run these commands:

$ make -f tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/Makefile clean_downloads
tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/downloads/flatbuffers already exists, skipping the download.
tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/downloads/kissfft already exists, skipping the download.
tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/downloads/pigweed already exists, skipping the download.
find: ‘tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/gen_micro_mutable_op_resolver_test/person_detect’: No such file or directory
rm -rf tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/downloads
$ make -f tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/Makefile third_party_download
...

If the above command succeeds, then, re-run the default build script again.

Hoping the above helps clear out any stale downloads from TensorFlow Lite Micro. But if this doesn’t fix the issue, we will try and diagnose further with the logs.

Thanks,
Kshitij

Hi @kshitij-sisodia-arm,

I cannot past the build log here and send out because limitation of message size & 2 links for new user.
I just tried your suggestion. The first command executed without any issue. The 2nd one seems has issue and below is the last part of output executing your 2nd command in dependencies/tensorflow directory.

Hi @Kaipingli88,

Sorry, there’s an “s” missing at the end (third_party_downloads) the command should be:

We will publish a change soon that will do this at configuration stage. Will let you know once that change is in.

Thanks,
Kshitij

Kaipingli88 · December 7, 2022, 1:23pm

Hi @kshitij-sisodia-arm,

I added “s” (third_party_downloads) and the 2nd command executed fine. However, re-run the default build script still has problem. Please give instruction on what is the next step or provide fix to test.

Thanks,
Kaiping

kshitij-sisodia-arm · December 7, 2022, 2:58pm

Continuing the conversation via messages. @Kaipingli88, you should have a message from me in your inbox .

kshitij-sisodia-arm · December 12, 2022, 5:17pm

The issue was resolved - the cause was a stray “(” character in the PATH variable - passed from Windows’ mount directory in the WSL2 environment.

ek-10 · January 17, 2024, 8:33am

Hello @kshitij-sisodia-arm, I have same issue as well. I am wondering the clear solution about it. Can you share with me too?

kshitij-sisodia-arm · January 17, 2024, 9:05am

Hi @ek-10, I wouldn’t have expected you to see this issue if you are on one of the latest commits. It was fixed here: Diff - b891dd35e4f7403547ade73cbf6ad209193d728a^! - ml/ethos-u/ml-embedded-evaluation-kit - Gitiles. If you are still seeing this issue, can you share more details on it here please?

Thanks,
KS

ek-10 · January 17, 2024, 10:25am

Hello again, I’ve checked the diff in tensorflow.cmake file there is no problem in it. I’ve added error screenshot. They can be make it clear maybe.

ek-10 · January 17, 2024, 10:25am

And also this one

kshitij-sisodia-arm · January 17, 2024, 10:49am

You’re right, looks like you’re running a virtual Ubuntu instance, so that problem should not affect you.

Can you please share:

Configuration command - are you configuring with additional logging params perhaps?
Complete build log if possible

These will help us reproduce it locally and get back to you.

ek-10 · January 17, 2024, 11:06am

Hi, log_build_default.log file is very long and I can’t add it here. I didn’t make any additional configurations. I’ve just follow followed the quick start guide.

kshitij-sisodia-arm · January 17, 2024, 11:32am

So, you’re using the build_default.py to build. That still assumes you have the prerequisites Which toolchain (and version) are you using?

ek-10 · January 17, 2024, 11:35am

Yes. I’ve installed them all.

here is the output:
