Compile C++ serving example without bazel?

[andrea-cassioli-maersk]

Hi, long time ago I have filed an issue

#46

Now I am back on the task and trying to follow

https://ydf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/cpp/#in-c

and it says "If you use Bazel/Blaze" do something, but what if I do not? How do I install and point to the dependencies?

Hi,

do you need more training or model inference only?

[andrea-cassioli-maersk]

In C++ I need inference, I can easily train from the python interface.

Thank you. We're currently working on a new format for C++ inference of YDF models that, among other improvements, will no longer depend on Bazel. I expect the MVP to become available in the next ~4 weeks (no promises as usual)

Hi, are there any updates for this, is C++ standalone inference not supported still?

I don't understand the concept of to_standalone_cc() and which model types can it be used with, it doesn't seem to exist for RandomForest and GradientBoostedTrees. Thanks.
