So how do I go about using it in 3.9? And more importantly does it
work? Does it generate hybrid CPP/CU projects that can be compiled in
visual studio the way FindCUDA (did/does?).
Currently using FindCUDA, but I have had some CUDA 7.5 / 8.0 and VS
13/15 cats in a bag trouble. Finally uninstalled CUDA 8.0 and had to
reinstall/repair VS13 due to .NET goop removal with 8.0 somehow. Then
reinstalled 7.5, but still no luck with SampleProjects from NVIDIA.
Then removed 7.5 and reinstalled 8.0 and sample projects then built the
8.0 projects and ran successfully with VS13. NVIDIA states that cross
mojonation with runtimes and drivers would work just swimmingly... and
well I got news for them on that one. FindCUDA during 7.5 yeiled
confusing warning saying that I was specifying 7.5, but it found 8.0
even though 7.5 was installed as though FindCUDA did not seem to listen
to the version I was specifying.
I upgraded CMake from 3.2 to 3.9 so I could set env{var} and use CMake's
Open Project to set env build vars for VS to be used in project settings
with outthe need for my run_vs.bat script CMake used to have to generate
with configure_file. So with CMake, CUDA and Visual Studio it's like
three cats in a bag and one is a like bobcat (CUDA) so it's kinda messy.
