from gpuRIR_bind import gpuRIR_bind ImportError: DLL load failed while importing gpuRIR_bind: The specified module could not be found

[Underman30]

I've tried to install this package by both pip install and setup.py, and their generated files were different in envs/Lib/site-package/..., there's no gpuRIR_bind.py when installed by pip and the setup.py running logs were below:
I have just one GPU and I've imported torch before the gpuRIR but make no sense
btw, could you send me the site-package of gpuRIR directly?

I cannot send you the package folder of gpuRIR since I do not have any Windows PC with CUDA right now. In any case, I do not think that would work if we weren't using exactly the same versions of Python and CUDA.

From the logs and images you sent, it seems like the installation process didn't create the DLL with the compiled C++ and CUDA part of the library but I do not know why that happened since the log seems to be normal. Unfortunately, I do not have a Windows computer to try to reproduce the issue.

[Underman30]

hi David, do you know how to change the c++ complier from MSVC++ to GCC? Should I change the cmakeList.txt or somthing? I noticed that you point in Readme that if we use pytorch then we should comply with GCC. But I install the Visual Studio 2022 and the complier is default with MSVC++. By the way, what's the differences between those branches?

[Underman30]

My generated gpuRIR_bind.py was like this, is this normal? and how can I check whether gpuRIR_bind.cp38-win_amd64 is OK?

[htz1234]

I have met the same problem. I can compile the package on windows pc with CUDA 12.3, but it did not generate any dlls. However it can run on a linux server.

[htz1234]

add "import torch" before "import gpuRIR" might be helpful to this problem
