How to Compile CUDA App is Visual Studio 2010 ?

Here are my steps:
1. Create Empty C++ project without precompiled headers
2. Add main.cpp

int main()
{
 return 0;
}

  1. Add kernels.cu

    I referred to sample project MAtrixMul and copied its settings step by step. it can be complied now

#include "cuda.h"

__global__ void VecAdd(float* A, float* B, float* C)
{
 int i = threadId.x;
 C[i] = A[i] + B[i];
}
  1. Right-Click on project -> Build customizations -> Check cuda 3.2
  2. kernels.cu -> properties ->Compile with CUDA C/C++
  3. TRY Compiling: I get error:

Error 37 error : This version of the
CUDA Toolkit does not support the v100
compiler. Please verify that the
Platform Toolset property is set to
v90 under the General node of the
project properties. C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\BuildCustomizations\CUDA
3.1.targets 157 4 dfdfs

  1. Change Platform ToolSet to v90
  2. TRY Compiling: I get errors:

Error 38 error MSB3721: The command

Please healp me out.

Thanks, Ilya

Yes i did, and it IS working.

  1. Create C++ project

  2. Project(right click)->build customisation Check "Cuda 3.2 compiler"*

  3. Add cudart.lib to properties->linker->input->additional dependencies

  4. Add main.cu -> properties Item type = CUDA C/C++*

  5. Project -> properties ->configuration Properties -> general -> v90 toolset**

*) will appear after you install Nvidia Parallel Nsight. Be careful, you need special drivers for that, more on NSight homepage)

**) you need to instal visual c++ 2008 express.

Anyway, example project still should be available at my nvidia forum post. The problem i'm complaining there about is just out-of-date drivers.
