Hi, guys.
My code get a error like this:

What’s wrong? Any suggestions?

It is not clear to me if your problem is due to Visual Studio or to the code itself. Could you reduce your code to a minimum sized program reproducing the error, so that someone could compile and run it and help you?

nvcc complains about bad syntax of the commandline. It’s difficult to parse visually. I would try adding a space after each -I switch to see whether that helps.

Never mind, I create a new one and it works just fine.
