PaddleOCR在Windows 平台下基于`Visual Studio 2019 Community` 进行了测试。微软从`Visual Studio 2017`开始即支持直接管理`CMake`跨平台编译项目,但是直到`2019`才提供了稳定和完全的支持,所以如果你想使用CMake管理项目编译构建,我们推荐你使用`Visual Studio 2019`环境下构建。
## 前置条件
* Visual Studio 2019
* CUDA 9.0 / CUDA 10.0,cudnn 7+ (仅在使用GPU版本的预测库时需要)
* CMake 3.0+
请确保系统已经安装好上述基本软件,我们使用的是`VS2019`的社区版。
**下面所有示例以工作目录为 `D:\projects`演示**。
### Step1: 下载PaddlePaddle C++ 预测库 fluid_inference
PaddlePaddle C++ 预测库针对不同的`CPU`和`CUDA`版本提供了不同的预编译版本,请根据实际情况下载: [C++预测库下载列表](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/zh/develop/advanced_guide/inference_deployment/inference/windows_cpp_inference.html)
