FindCuda.cmake Macro Problem?

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance
1

Hi all,

I am simultaneously learning CMake and how successfully compile a cuda project. As an exercise, I decided to take the cppIntegration project from the SDK, and figure out how to get it to compile with CMake, using the FindCuda.cmake utility downloaded from http://www.sci.utah.edu/~abe/FindCuda.html. I successfully got the example available in the download to work. Using that example as a template, I attempted to extract the relevant parts of the CMakeList.txt files and apply the same structure to the cppIntegration project. No Luck! I cannot get the cppIntegration project to successfully compile.

My directory structure is

“bin” (for the out-of-source build)

“CMake” (the provided code)

“src” (This contains the two *.cu files, the two *.cpp files of cppIntegration, and a CMakeLists.txt file)

CmakeLists.txt

The top directory CMakeLists.txt file looks like

[codebox]# The name of our project is “CPPINTEGRATION”. CMakeLists files in this project can

refer to the root source directory of the project as ${CPPINTEGRATION_SOURCE_DIR} and

to the root binary directory of the project as ${CPPINTEGRATION_BINARY_DIR}.

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)

project (CPPINTEGRATION)

INCLUDE(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/CMake/cuda/FindCuda.cmake)

SUBDIRS(

src

)

[/codebox]

The CMakeList.txt in the “src” looks like

[codebox]# Add current directory to the nvcc include line.

CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(

${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}

)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${FOUND_CUDA_NVCC_INCLUDE} ${FOUND_CUT_INCLUDE})

##################################################

Use the CUDA_COMPILE macro.

CUDA_COMPILE(CUDA_FILES cppIntegration_kernel.cu cppIntegration.cu)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(cuda_compile_example

${CUDA_FILES}

main.cpp

cppIntegration_gold.cpp

)

[/codebox]

cmake appears to find all the right files, includes, libraries (with a little help)

But the verbose make generates the following error

/sw/bin/cmake -H/Users/phillicl/miniMD/IncrementalCUDATest -B/Users/phillicl/miniMD/IncrementalCUDATest/bin --check-build-system CMakeFiles/Makefile.cmake 0

As you can see, it does not appear to actually compile the *.cu files and thus has no object files! Its as if the macro is not working somehow. (I get an identical output if I “comment” out the “CUDA_COMPILE”)

What am I missing?

The CUDA_COMPILE macro shouldn’t be used directly.

Instead of ADD_EXECUTABLE, you should be using CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE, it will identify whether to use nvcc or g++ to compile based on the extension of the source file.

3

Yes, that definitely made a big difference! The trouble now is that I am getting a duplicated symbol when linking the files.

My “src/CMakeLists.txt” now looks like.

[codebox]

Add current directory to the nvcc include line.

CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(

${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}

${FOUND_CUT_INCLUDE}

)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${FOUND_CUDA_NVCC_INCLUDE} ${FOUND_CUT_INCLUDE})

############################################################

Use one executable only.

CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE(test

cppIntegration.cu

cppIntegration_kernel.cu

cppIntegration_gold.cpp

Here is my error!

The SDK examples “#include” the _kernel files into the normal .cu file. So you either need to remove that #include or take the cppIntegration_kernel.cu off of the src list in CMakeLists.txt.

NM,

Fixed my own problem.
The issue was that the kernel is included in the other *.cu file and should not have been part of the CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE command.

And then I needed to link to the libcutil.a library (which on my system is located in a different part of the directory structure than the cutil.h. The latter is in common/inc. The former in in lib)

It compiles! Thanks for your help.
