CUDA compilation fails nvcc compiler

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hi,

When I try compiling the cuda code (.cu) with nvcc (with visual studio 2008), it fails i.e. produces no results. The commands executes as a dummy statement and exits. It was working fine till recently. When I checked, all the environments have been set properly. I even tried the command line option and getting the same results, any hep is appreciated, thank you

The command below just exits

nvcc -m32 -ccbin “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin” -D_DEBUG -D_WIN32 -I"D:\CUDA\include" -I"./" -I"…/…/common/inc" -I"…/…/…/shared/inc" -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /Od /Zi /MTd " -maxrregcount=32 -gencode=arch=compute_10,code="sm_10,compute_10" -gencode=arch=compute_20,code="sm_
20,compute_20" --compile -o “Debug\test1.cu.obj” test1.cu

What are you getting in response? check the output pane in studio…

You should probably look higher in the error log - seems like the .cu file didnt compile due to a compilation error and therefore no test1.cu.obj file was

created…

I re-checked, the cuda file (test2.cu) did exist and was taken for compiation (atleast according to the logs) but was ignored. Here is the log that was output from the visual studio

If it was ignored and not compiled that would explain the error :)
Check why it wasn’t compiled. Maybe you’ve excluded it from the build process or the rules for CUDA have been disabled…

It is getting ignored, the reason is unclear to me. I tried to use command line to execute sample code, I see that it just ignores the file and comes out as shown below

nvcc test2.cu

I also tried to create another workspace for the same but of no avail, I find the same behavior when I try to compile the samples given with the SDK
