See #9 . They will not provide windows support for some reason

That engage in wool

anyone knows how to solve this problem?

After tons of digging I've found a way to make it work:

Steps

1. First go to cocoapi\PythonAPI\setup.py and change line 14 from:
   extra_compile_args=['-Wno-cpp', '-Wno-unused-function', '-std=c99'],
   to
   extra_compile_args={'gcc': ['/Qstd=c99']},
   as pointed out in this issue: Installation on Windows Command line error D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/Wno-cpp' CharlesShang/FastMaskRCNN#173

2. And then try to run make from cocoapi\PythonAPI\pycocotools again.

3. If you get C1083: Cannot open include file: 'vcruntime.h': No such file or directory go to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build directory and run the following script from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42757497/python-installation-compilation-errors

   pushd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\"
   cmd /c "vcvars64.bat&set" |
   foreach {
   if ($_ -match "=") {
   $v = $_.split("="); set-item -force -path "ENV:\$($v[0])"  -value "$($v[1])"
   }
   }
   popd
   Write-Host "`nVisual Studio 2017 Command Prompt variables set." -ForegroundColor Yellow
   

   Then cd back to your cocoapi\PythonAPI\pycocotools and run make. It worked for me at this point :)

@TonyNgo1 THANK YOU!

@TonyNgo1
oops...
after step1,i get different error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 23, in <module> cythonize(ext_modules) File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\core.py", line 151, in setup dist.run_commands() File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 340, in run self.build_extensions() File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 449, in build_extensions self.build_extension(ext) File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 499, in build_extension depends=ext.depends) File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\caffe_env\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 547, in compile extra_postargs) TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "dict") to list make: *** [Makefile:3: all] Error 1
my setup.py ：
ext_modules = [ Extension( 'pycocotools._mask', sources=['../common/maskApi.c', 'pycocotools/_mask.pyx'], include_dirs = [np.get_include(), '../common'], extra_compile_args={'gcc': ['/Qstd=c99']}, ) ]

@LongruiDong Unfortunately that's the same thing I have and it works on my machine. I was also able to compile it by removing the line completely ie:

ext_modules = [
    Extension(
        'pycocotools._mask',
        sources=['../common/maskApi.c', 'pycocotools/_mask.pyx'],
        include_dirs = [np.get_include(), '../common'],
    )
]

So you could try that too. I assume the system determines how to compile if extra_compile_args is not set so you may get something different.

Thanks to the tips from @TonyNgo1 I managed to get through this. I didn't need any extra_compile_args, they just raised a couple of warnings when I included them. In addition to what was mentioned here, I had to add in a line with library_dirs = formatted the same as include_dirs. I ended up with

    include_dirs = [np.get_include(), '../common', 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Include\\10.0.17134.0\\ucrt', 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Include\\10.0.17134.0\\shared'],
    library_dirs = ['C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Lib\\10.0.17134.0\\um\\x64', 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Lib\\10.0.17134.0\\ucrt\\x64'],

One final link error was a bit stranger: LINK : fatal error LNK1158: cannot run 'rc.exe'. For this one I had to add the folder with rc.exe to my PATH
$env:Path += ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17134.0\x64"

I made a repo to support To support Windows x64 build with Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 standalone: Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7:

@TonyNgo1 Sorry, I got an error like this:
c1 fatal error c1083 cannot open source file pycocotools /_ mask c ': no such file or directory
It's similar to yours, but I don't know how to solve it.

Solved.

pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI

Try replacing extra_compile_args=['-Wno-cpp', '-Wno-unused-function', '-std=c99'] with extra_compile_args={'gcc': ['/Qstd=c99']} in coco/pycocotools/setup.py.

And then run python setup.py install again

After tons of digging I've found a way to make it work:

Steps

1. First go to cocoapi\PythonAPI\setup.py and change line 14 from:
   extra_compile_args=['-Wno-cpp', '-Wno-unused-function', '-std=c99'],
   to
   extra_compile_args={'gcc': ['/Qstd=c99']},
   as pointed out in this issue: CharlesShang/FastMaskRCNN#173

2. And then try to run make from cocoapi\PythonAPI\pycocotools again.

3. If you get C1083: Cannot open include file: 'vcruntime.h': No such file or directory go to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build directory and run the following script from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42757497/python-installation-compilation-errors

   pushd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\"
   cmd /c "vcvars64.bat&set" |
   foreach {
   if ($_ -match "=") {
   $v = $_.split("="); set-item -force -path "ENV:\$($v[0])"  -value "$($v[1])"
   }
   }
   popd
   Write-Host "`nVisual Studio 2017 Command Prompt variables set." -ForegroundColor Yellow
   

   Then cd back to your cocoapi\PythonAPI\pycocotools and run make. It worked for me at this point :)

It works man, thanks!

Hey guys! Here's how I fixed it-

1. First go to cocoapi\PythonAPI\setup.py and change line 14 from:
   extra_compile_args=['-Wno-cpp', '-Wno-unused-function', '-std=c99'],
   to
   extra_compile_args={'gcc': ['/Qstd=c99']},

2. From terminal run - python setup.py install

3. Now from your root folder, try to install again.

Thanks to the above guys for help!

I am working in COLAB and when I start training this show-up, Please Help.

Solved.

pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI

Any chance original author can update for pycocotools 2.0.1?

Issue Resolved:
Open Anaconda-Prompt3:

Write: pip install pycocotools-windows

Python 3.7.6
Anaconda3 (64-bit)

None of them worked for me. After setting this:
set PATH=%PATH%;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
in my conda environment, then I could install coco-api
