[SOLVED] Makefile for CUDA/C++ code

naaman · 06-19-2010, 10:29 AM

Hi,

I'd like to write a Makefile for my CUDA/C++ code but I didn't know
how things work with CUDA, I mean there is a nvcc compiler but I don't know what I've got to do with this.
Do I have to firstly run nvcc and then g++ or only nvcc to compile my CUDA/C++ code ? I found nothing on the web explaining such basic things ....

Can you help me ?

thanks,

I understood how it works by myself ...
Firstly you have to give the compiler path so that nvcc find it (but by default it goes in /usr/bin/ to look for it, I think)
And you have to specify what programing language nvcc will deal with. By default nvcc use a C++ compiler.

So the both command are the same for most UNIX platforms :

Code:

nvcc -o mycodebin ./mycodesource.cpp
nvcc --compiler-bindir=/usr/bin --host-compilation 'C++' -o mycodebin ./mycodesoure.cpp

And you can give some options to the C/C++ compiler by using --compiler-options I guess
