SDK Example Compilation Problem

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance
1

Hi!

I am a first-time user of Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) and have spent hours in installing CUDA, solving the Optimus problem and changing to gcc 4.4. But now, when I am trying to compile the SDK examples, I get another error. I haven’t found anything on the web about it. Maybe one can tell me how to fix it or whether I have done something wrong.

I think I haven’t done bad everything, since 3 examples are running well. But only 3, the other executables are missing. I would be glad if anyone could help me. I have to work with CUDA for my master thesis.

I have CUDA Toolkit 4.0 and a Geforce GT555m GPU. Sorry for bad english, but I am not a native speaker.

Thank you very much!

Here is the mentioned error:

Are you sure you are trying to compile CUDA SDK 4.0? I dont’ see these errors on my system.

Also, since you mentioned you are doing CUDA for your master thesis. Have you looked at ArrayFire( Free GPU library with a huge set of functions {FFT’s, convolutions, image processing, grapphics support}). You can integrate your custom CUDA code with ArrayFire and save lot of your development time. It has both a C++ and device(pointer) interface. Take a look here
