pytorch compile aten only

To compile only the ATen (PyTorch's tensor library) component of PyTorch, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the PyTorch repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch.git

2. Change into the PyTorch directory:

cd pytorch

3. Build PyTorch with only ATen using the following commands:

python setup.py build --cmake-only

This command will generate the necessary CMake files for building PyTorch, including ATen.

4. Create a build directory and change into it:

mkdir build
cd build

5. Run CMake to configure the build:

cmake ..

6. Build ATen:

make aten

This command will compile only the ATen library. You can also specify additional targets to build if needed.

After the build process completes successfully, you will have the compiled ATen library available for use in your project.

Please note that compiling only ATen may not be sufficient to use PyTorch fully. Depending on your requirements, you may need to compile other components as well.
