Integration with XCODE?, Anyone created a CUDA template project? Options

[jmazo]

Hi there

my 2 cents

the plugin and the template seem to work fine with 2.3a in Xcode 3.1.2 in leopard.

and the path has not changed, its been in /usr/local/cuda as long as I can remeber

it was the examples (SDK?) that changed from /Developer/CUDA to /Developer/GPU Computing

One of the problems that I noticed in moving from the 2.2 to 2.3 drivers and sdk is that the CUDA plugin seemed to continue to try to access the 2.2 version of nvcc, and downstream compilers, etc (the install location changed from 2.2 to 2.3, I think). That might need to be looked at. Better yet, it might be nice to be able to explicitly set the path to the bin folder... maybe. Just a thought.

I should mention that with the project template, if you want to write your program in C, it works just fine, but ONLY if you make sure to leave at least one .cpp file in the project with the 'target' box checked. I'm not sure why, but if there isn't a cpp file, xcode balks and you get a linking error. There doesn't have to be anything in this .cpp file, and your main can be a main.c. You just have to have it there.

A Noob question: How (and Where) do you set the include path for nvcc?
Keep up the good work! Cheers,

I'm not clear on what you're asking. Do you mean the path for nvcc to use to search for libraries, etc, or the path to nvcc itself?

If you mean the path for nvcc to use to search for libraries.... like if you have additional non-standard libraries that you want to include in your project, and you don't store them in the project folder itself, then you might have to pass a path flag to nvcc... something like a "-P /blah/moreblah/thatfolderinblah/stuff/" or something.

If you mean the path to nvcc itself, then you can use a symbolic link file (like an alias, but unix style) in your /usr/local/bin/ folder to point to the actual location of nvcc. Do some googling and you should be able to figure out how to do that (I forget off the top of my head).

Or did I miss the question completely?

Would it be possible for someone to summarize the precise current state of affairs here. Do we have working Xcode solution for

2.3a under Leopard
3.0 under Snow Leopard

and in either case is there a concise summary of the steps needed?
