Project build for examples/stream for Windows (CUDA 12.1)

[LeoSpace-bit]

Through CMake I managed to build main.exe and project for MS VS 2022, attempts to build project for Stream were not successful.

Please help me either with setting CMakeLists.txt or with setting paths in MS VS 2022 project to connect header files, "common-sdl.h", "common.h", "whisper.h"

This is how I did the settings in Visual Studio 2019 (no CUDA, I hope helps for someone).

------------In Visual Studio-------------

Let's say you want to replicate the stream example.

Create a console application, for example: SpeechRecognizer

In properties select: All the configurations
Release x64

Now add these files into you project:
common.h
common-sdl.h
ggml.h
whisper.h
stream.cpp

C/C++>>Additional include directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL2\include\SDL2

Configuration Properties>>C/C++>>Preporocessor>>Preprocessor Definitions: _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

Create a Lib folder in your project, for example:
D:\Whisper\SpeechRecognizer\Lib

In Lib folder add these libs:
common.lib (D:\Whisper\whisper.cpp\build\examples\Release)
common-sdl.lib (D:\Whisper\whisper.cpp\build\examples\Release)
SDL2.lib (C:\Users\Jorge\Downloads\SDL-release-2.28.5\SDL-release-2.28.5\build\Release)
whisper.lib (D:\Whisper\whisper.cpp\build\Release)

Linker>>General>>AdditionalLibrary Directories:
D:\Whisper\SpeechRecognizer\Lib

Linker>>Input>>Additional Dependencies:
common.lib;common-sdl.lib;whisper.lib;SDL2.lib

In stream.cpp before the main function add:

#undef main

Build your project.

Add the dlls in the folder where is your exe: SDL2.dll and whisper.dll

In your command line write something like this:

stream -m D:\\Whisper\\whisper.cpp\\models\\ggml-base.en.bin -t 8 --step 500 --length 5000
