#### Building MXNet-R from Source Code(CPU)

1. Clone the MXNet github repo.
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet
```
The `--recursive` is to clone all the submodules used by MXNet. You will be
editing the ```"/mxnet/R-package"``` folder.

2. Download prebuilt GPU-enabled MXNet libraries for Windows from [Windows
release](https://github.com/yajiedesign/mxnet/releases). You will need
`mxnet_x64_vc14_cpu.7z` and `prebuildbase_win10_x64_vc14.7z` where X stands for
your CUDA toolkit version

3. Create a folder called ```R-package/inst/libs/x64```. MXNet supports only
64-bit operating systems, so you need the x64 folder.

4. Copy the following shared libraries (.dll files) into the
```R-package/inst/libs/x64``` folder.

6. Make sure that R executable is added to your ```PATH``` in the environment
variables. Running the ```where R``` command at the command prompt should
return the location.

```PATH``` in the environment variables.

8. Temporary patch - im2rec currently results in crashes during the build.
Remove the im2rec.h and im2rec.cc files in R-package/src/ from cloned
repository and comment out the two im2rec lines in
[R-package/src/mxnet.cc](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/R-package/src/mxnet.cc)
as shown below.

#include "./kvstore.h"
