Hi,

I have Visual Studio 2008 and would like to start with cuda. But it sounds that the project request the cuda.rules files.

I have download the last SDK at : http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_0_downloads.html

But, can’t find this file !

Hello

It is placed under the SDK/C/common

Can’t remember where I saw it initially, but it’s not in the notes I think.

Cheers

First install the CUDA SDK and Tool kit

Click on Start->All programs->NVIDIA Corporation->>NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK-> CUDA-> Browse CUDA SDK

Then a folder with name ‘C’ will be opened. From that folder open the folder with name ‘common’. In that folder ‘Cuda.Rules’ can be found.

Now open the Folder where you Installed Visual Studio 2008. Normally It is in C -> Program Files-> Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0. From the installation folder open VC -> VCProjectDefaults. Open this folder and copy the ‘Cuda.Rules’ into it. You have done. Now you can add Cuda Build Rules to the Visual Studio Projects.
