Trying to build tvm on Windows 10, VS Professional 2017.

In transform.cc the type ‘uint’ on line 1100 is not defined:
for (uint i = 0; i < indices.size(); ++i) {

have you tried working around this issue by building TVM on a Unix machine?

The uint type is not specified in VS compiler.

A quick fix is simple: just replace the uint with unsigned

The current master should then compile (at least with LLVM and OpenCL). Just tested it.

@kinred I was able to confirm your fix for that line, but then run into this fatal error:

C:\Users\tomtz\Documents\dev\clones\tvm\nnvm\src\top\tensor\elemwise.cc : fatal error C1128: number of sections exceeded object file format limit: compile with /bigobj

Should this be fixed in the CMake files to add the /bigobj, or is this a 32-bit vs 64-bit compiler issue?
