MATLAB+CUDA 2.1 vs MVSC7.1? nvcc complains about VS7.1, can't compile Szeta.cu

Hi all,

(Config: XP SP3, 32 bit, Matlab R2007b, MS VS .NET 2003, CUDA 2.1)

New variety of an old problem: I’m trying to get CUDA to work with MATLAB, working through the examples given in the README.txt of the plugin v1.1. The nvmexopts.bat assumes VS2005, which I don;t have, I have VS2003 (which would like to keep as it is because I use it in conjunction with an external compiler and I don’t want to have to sort out the integration with VS2005/8…)

mex works fine, and I can run the speed_fft example. For the accelerated version, I edited nvmexopts.bat to point it to cl.exe in the VS install dir, and set other paths correctly.

[font=“Courier New”]>> nvmex -f nvmexopts.bat Szeta.cu -IC:\cuda\include -LC:\cuda\lib -lcufft -lcudart

What’s the _WCHAR_T stuff? I’m (cough cough) not very proficient at C, so the warning C4117 does not make sense to me; I don’t even understand what c1xx is doing in the process.

Is there a fix or workaround?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Gijs
