@amirj You might try the solution as mentioned here:
tensorflow/serving#327 (comment)

Scrip updated. Sorry guys, I didn't see the comments before.

I tried but still get the same error, do you have any idea?
I put this script at ~/
And my serving is located at ~/

it returns

The 'build' command is only supported from within a workspace.

Then I modified your script from:

cd ..
bazel build -c opt --config=cuda --verbose_failures @tf_serving//tensorflow_serving/model_servers:tensorflow_model_server

to:

bazel build -c opt --config=cuda tensorflow_serving/...

And got the same error

ERROR: no such target '@org_tensorflow//third_party/gpus/crosstool:crosstool': target 'crosstool' not declared in package 'third_party/gpus/crosstool' defined by /home/xinyao/.cache/bazel/_bazel_xinyao/80e74adbbcccd24d2cb855aa9a507307/external/org_tensorflow/third_party/gpus/crosstool/BUILD.
INFO: Elapsed time: 0.255s

Script updated. It needs cdnn 7 and cuda 8.
@protossw512 Sorry I do not receive notifications when someone writes a comment here. You are setting wrong the variable TENSORFLOW_SERVING_REPO_PATH or the script might be wrong, the one I test is a bit different.

@jorgemf does cudnn 7 and cuda 8 work?

I don't support this anymore. I have created a Dockerfile to compile it, so all dependencies are there and probably people will have less issues compiling it: https://gist.github.com/jorgemf/c791841f769bff96718fd54bbdecfd4e
