client fails to compile

I get the following when attempting to compile the client c++ version on a fresh install of ubuntu.

I downloaded https://github.com/triton-inference-server/client/archive/refs/heads/main.zip, unzipped, cd’d into that folder, then: mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=pwd/install -DTRITON_ENABLE_CC_HTTP=ON -DTRITON_ENABLE_CC_GRPC=ON -DTRITON_ENABLE_GPU=ON -DTRITON_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=ON -DTRITON_ENABLE_TESTS=ON … make

This failed several times and I was able to determine what “apt install xxx” it needed and rerun “make”. Finally it results in the following.

I assume this is some mixed up C++11 vs C++17 setting, but I have no clue how it might be fixed.

the triton client is including the source for the whole triton project

the “sdk” package should only include the source code of the Triton clients (including perf analyzer which you can exclude from build).

You don’t have to use the Triton client, it is an out-of-box client to interact with Triton server via HTTP/GRPC, you can implement your own client following the Triton server protocols, the extensions are optional for client and the predict protocol is what should be implemented to perform inference.
