Hello:
I am having a difficult time making a shared library. Using a simple example I can successfully get it to work using just gcc, but I cannot get a similar example to work when it is compiled using nvcc. Maybe I am making a silly error, but I can’t find it, even after reading other posts on the subject. With every try, I get a “undefined reference” error.
The files are given below. Any assistance? Thanks, John
//==============================================================
// here is my program, saved in a file called main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include “cvm_dist.h”
int main()
{
run_test(5);
printf(“\nhello\n”);
return 0;
}
//==============================================================
// here is my header file, saved in a file called cvm_dist.h
int run_test(int pass);

// here is my cuda code, saved in a file called cvmDist.cu

#include “cvm_dist.h”
int run_test(int pass)
{
printf(“\nIn run_test\n”);
return pass;
}

// here is my nvcc command
nvcc --shared --compiler-options ‘-fPIC -Wall’ -o libcvm.so cvmDist.cu -L/usr/local/cuda/lib -lcublas
