Make fails in Cygwin

Question

after installing Cygwin I got in the directory where I want to compile and hit "make". This is the error I get:

nvcc : fatal error : Unsupported host compiler 'x86_amd64'

What can I do now?

Answer 1

Windows version CUDA works with MS VS C++ compiler. There's no support to make it work with cygwin-gcc.
