HI thank you for your post. I have the nvcc fatal error as you mentioned in the blog. But where I can find this ‘msys.bat’ file on windows 7?

Hi! Thank you for your post. I’m running on windows 10 and have gotten to running theano on cpu. For some reason it doesn’t want to run on GPU. My .theanorc file looks as follows:

[global]
floatX = float32
device = gpu

[cuda]
root=C:Program FilesNVIDIA GPU Computing ToolkitCUDAv7.5
[nvcc]
flags=-LC:UsersCedric=OeldorfAnaconda2libs
compiler_bindir=C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0VCbin

[blas]
ldflags =
#ldflags=-lopenblas # placeholder for openblas support

Would you have any suggestions?

I think I didn’t change it after install. Here it is: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/44a8645c061ba99ac982

Thanks for this guide. I also got Theano to work on my Win 7 x64 machine (finally) after quite a bit hassle. My suggestion (at the time being) is to get the bleeding-edge version using “pip install –upgrade –no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git” instead of simply installing with “pip install Theano”.

I actually could not get Theano to work with the version obtained from “pip install Theano”, and there seemed to be small a bug in that version which gives me errors when trying to compile with Visual Studio 2012. That’s why I gave the bleeding-edge version a try, and it worked.

As mentioned by the previous user, I believe libpython is needed too.

Thanks for this, I was able to get theano working under windows 8.1 64. I had to install http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#libpython to fix a library linker issue.
