Error while installing MultiScaleDeformableAttention package

[nikeshdevkota]

I am trying to simply run the code for this repo, but I get a "RuntimeError: Error compiling objects for extension" whenever I try to install MultiScaleDeformableAttention package after installing the necessary pytorch version.

##Code that I ran

python src/trackformer/models/ops/setup.py build --build-base=src/trackformer/models/ops/ install

##Compilation Error

Environment:

I am using a Windows 10 PC with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

I also tried installing the package in Ubuntu 18.04 that has a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 but found out it was incompatible with CUDA below 11.1. Is there any solution for this scenario? Can we use a CUDA version after 11.1 with appropriate pytorch version for this repository ?

Your compilation throws a filename longer than 260 characters error which only happens on Windows (10) systems. I do not know how to resolve this and generally do not have any experience running code on Windows.

You can try running a different CUDA version and install the PyTorch version closest to 1.5 working with that CUDA version. There is a good chance this will work. Check out this #60 pull request which is supposed to make the repo work for more recent PyTorch versions.

Thank you @timmeinhardt , I will check the repo.

@nikeshdevkota Have U got your problem sorted bcoz i'm getting a similar kind of error

[nikeshdevkota]

I couldn't solve the error in Windows and the GPU I had in Linux was not compatible with the original repository. So, as @timmeinhardt suggested I used the pytorch version as suggested in #60 and it worked.

@nikeshdevkota How about the corresponding cuda version?

[nikeshdevkota]

The original version of CUDA is not compatible with the GPU I am using in Linux , so it doesn't work in my case.
