compile as static lib - runtime issue

I’ve downloaded the little VisStudio project helper and used it to create a little test for a static lib. The lib compiles clean, and links in clean with my core codebase, but fails to run. “… cudaError at memory location …”

The code is intened to simply make a copy of a 640x480 byte array. Once I can do that I’ll move on to something actually worthy of the hardware. I have dual 8700 GTs running CUDA 2.0. and visStudio05 on XP sp2

I’ve validated the data I’m handing the lib. Both char arrays are 307200 in size and initialized properly. Its crashing on the kernel call.

Am I missing some basic concept? Maybe crossing a hardware limit?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Here’s the code…

(I’d be happy to provide more details about env and main codebase if needed)

In an effort to try an fix this I’ve moved all my code into a single project.
The error still exists so I’ve ruled out the static lib linking as the issue.
It seems that the unsigned char * I pass to the kernel is somehow invalid (d_data).
I get a successful return on the cudaMalloc call but when the kernel call executes I get an error on cudaLaunch.

If anyone would take the time to look at this and provide some feedback or guidance, I’d be forever grateful.

eurika!!
this post details my issue
[url=“http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t30448.html”]http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t30448.html[/url]

in a nut shell:
the texture option for linear filtering is not supported for non-float types.

On a side note as I’ve become more familiar with this forum, I’ve realized that this post is in the wrong spot. If an admin would be kind enough to move it to the “programming and development” section I’d apreciate it.
