CUDA Compile Environment with VS 2008

To set up CUDA compile environment with VS 2008.

 

Step 1: Adding Cuda.Rules to your project.

Project > Custom Build Rules...

Click Find Existing...

Select %CUDA_SDK%\C\common\Cuda.Rules

 

Step 2: Now set up your Include directory, library directory, and Executable directory.

Tools > Options... > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Directories

 

Select Platform. In my case, x64 was selected.

And select Show directories for: as Include files.

Add following three directories

%CUDA%\include

%CUDA%\include\crt

%CUDA_SDK%\C\common\inc

 

And select Show directories for: as Library files.

Add following two directories

%CUDA%\lib64

%CUDA_SDK%\C\common\lib

 

Simillarly, select Excutable files for the dropdown and specify:

%CUDA%\bin64

%CUDA_SDK%\C\bin\win64\EmuDebug

%CUDA_SDK%\C\bin\win64\EmuRelease

Step 3 : Specify the CUDA Runtime and CUTIL64D.lib.

Project > Properties

Select Configuration Properties > Linker > Input

Specify Additional Dependencies as cudart.lib and cutil64D.lib for Debug configuration

Similarly, for Release configuration, specify Additional Dependencies as cudart.lib and cutil64.lib.

 

Step 4: Set up for CUDA syntax highlighting

Find the CUDA syntax highlighting supporting file :

%CUDA_SDK%\C\doc\syntax_highlighting\visual_studio_8\usertype.dat

Copy this file into

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE

Then, configure VS text editor.

Tools > Options > Text Editor > File Extension

combine cu extension with Microsfot Visula C++

 

Step 5: In order to debug your code, add cutil64D.dll into your PATH environment variable.

 

You can also do a "Post build" event in VS2008 to copy over the requisite dll files to the target directory where the exe gets generated. 

copy "$(NVSDKCUDA_ROOT)\bin\win64\$(ConfigurationName)\*.dll" "$(TargetDir)"
