No CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER could be found

Question

I am trying to generate a build system for CMake, but it throws an error at me, that I havent managed to fix for days. I have installed VC 2017 and CUDA latest release.

In my directory I created build directory and ran:

cmake ..

After that it started creating it but it didn't find the CUDA compiler

Any idea? I cant seem to resolve the issue... I am running Win10

Answer 1

I know this is an old question, but I faced same problem and maybe, the solution I took could help anyone else. Actually, I always install CUDA as custom installation since I don't want samples and doc to be installed. At first time I installed I forgot to tick Visual Studio integration option. That made for some reason CUDA compiler not be visible. After I reinstalled CUDA ticking the option it worked.

Answer 2

It looks like you are expected to specify the full path to nvcc by hand. I don't like the idea, though.

You do that this way:

cmake -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER:PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc ...other cmake options...

That will compile things as expected, except it doesn't automatically add the include folder. I'm still looking at how to handle that second part without including the FindCUDA.cmake file.

Answer 3

Try cmake -G "Microsoft Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..

Answer 4

According to the logs, the problem is nvcc fatal : 32 bit compilation is only supported for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and earlier when compiling CMakeCUDACompilerId.cu, which is used internally by CMake to make sure the compiler is working.

For some reasons, CMake decided to compile the file in 32 bits, which is not supported anymore. As CMake version was not specified, I would suggest updating CMake.
