Matlab plug-in installation error

Ringworm · February 5, 2010, 8:43am

Hello. I’ve downloaded Matlab CUDA plug-in 1.1 and can’t get past the CUDA source compilation:

>> nvmex -f nvmexopts.bat Szeta.cu -IC:\cuda\include -LC:\cuda\lib -lcufft -lcudart

nvcc fatal   : nvcc cannot find a supported cl version. Only MSVC 8.0 and MSVC 9.0 are supported 

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2009B\BIN\NVMEX.PL: Error: Compile of 'Szeta.cu' failed. 

??? Error using ==> nvmex at 206

Unable to complete successfully.

When I run it in verbose mode:

>> nvmex -v -f nvmexopts.bat Szeta.cu -IC:\cuda\include -LC:\cuda\lib -lcufft -lcudart

I have alread modified “nvmexopts.bat”:

set VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

to

set VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0

It surely must be some incorrect path in nvcc, because I already got cl.exe, version 9.0.

Thanks.

Okay, now “nvmexopts.bat” got modified again:

set COMPFLAGS=-c -D_WCHAR_T_DEFINED -Xcompiler "/c /Zp8 /GR /W3 /EHsc- /Zc:wchar_t- /DMATLAB_MEX_FILE /nologo"

to

set COMPFLAGS=-c -ccbin "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin" -D_WCHAR_T_DEFINED -Xcompiler "/c /Zp8 /GR /W3 /EHsc- /Zc:wchar_t- /DMATLAB_MEX_FILE /nologo"

But now a buttload of errors popped up:

>> nvmex -f nvmexopts.bat Szeta.cu -IC:\cuda\include -LC:\cuda\lib -lcufft -lcudart

I had a similar problem but I found it was because I had the old nvmexopts.bat in my working directory. Using the nvmexopts.bat in [url=“http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=66961”]http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=66961[/url] (renamed to nvmexopts.bat) fixed this error on my system.
