Recently i used VS2010, and convert the cuda rules to targets automatically.

When i build the solution, the errors appear, and i dont know how to fix it...

Is there anyone could read the xml code?

Answer 5

Thank you reporting the issue. I was able to repro your problem on Beta2 drop. To workaround the issue, you can replace the following in your XML file:

<ProjectSchemaDefinitions xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/build/2009/properties" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
 
With this:

<ProjectSchemaDefinitions xmlns="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Build.Framework.XamlTypes;assembly=Microsoft.Build.Framework" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" xmlns:transformCallback="Microsoft.Cpp.Dev10.ConvertPropertyCallback" xmlns:impl="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.Contracts.Implementation;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Project.Contracts.Implementation">


This is what I am getting after applying the workaround on Beta2 drop:

Using "CUDA_Build_Rule" task from the task factory "XamlTaskFactory".

1>Task "CUDA_Build_Rule"

1> cmd.exe /C "......\AppData\Local\Temp\4\0d7e768da2664786bf2e5d4e0612a91d.cmd"

1> echo "$(CUDA_BIN_PATH)\nvcc.exe" -arch sm_10 -ccbin "D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /Zi /MT " -I"" -maxrregcount=32 --compile -o "$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj" "<....file.cu>"

1> "$(CUDA_BIN_PATH)\nvcc.exe" -arch sm_10 -ccbin "D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /Zi /MT " -I"" -maxrregcount=32 --compile -o "$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj" "<....file.cu>"

1> D:\Users\lishao\Desktop\New folder\customwithspace\customwithspace>echo "$(CUDA_BIN_PATH)\nvcc.exe" -arch sm_10 -ccbin "D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /Zi /MT " -I"" -maxrregcount=32 --compile -o "$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj" "<....file.cu>"

1> "$(CUDA_BIN_PATH)\nvcc.exe" -arch sm_10 -ccbin "D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /Zi /MT " -I"" -maxrregcount=32 --compile -o "$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj" "<....file.cu>"

 

 

This issue has already been resolved in the recent build.

Answer 6

Thank you for replying.

The replacement you advise is right, and in fact, i modified the xml file according to the masm.xml file in MSbuild directory.

But both don't work. they have the same error ----The "CUDA_Build_Rule" task was not found.

so i want to know, is that enough to obtain three files( .targets, .xml, .props )?

If possible, could you install the cuda toolkit2.3 to test if it's compatible between VS2010 beta2 and CUDA?

Answer 7

OK. It looks like some engine level change is also needed to build CUDA_Build_Rule task. The issue is definately already fixed in the recent build. You can also send me a version of your projects and I can check. My email is LISHAO AT Microsoft.com

Answer 8

Hi Li,

I am experiencing the same issue with beta2.  masm.xml modifications don't help.

Thanks,

Andrei

Answer 9

Hi Andrei, there are fixes made in MSBuild Engine side that are needed to make the scenario work. These fixes are in Post Beta2 drop. Simply modifying the .xml file won't be enough to resolve the problem.

RC build should have fix for this issue. Please download the RC from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd582936.aspx and let us know if your issue has been resolved.

Answer 11

This does not seem to be fixed even in the RC1Rel of Visual Studio 2010. What is going on?

Answer 12

Yes, we know about the issue. The failures are due to one major limitation in MSBuild task generator that it does not support expanding environment variables if they are part of the switches when generating tasks. Take the CUDA rule, for example. You have the following in your original rule file:

<EnumProperty

     Name="NvccCompilation"

     DisplayName="NVCC Compilation Type"

     Description="Select desired output of NVCC compilation (-c/-compile, -cuda, -gpu, -cubin, -ptx)"

     >

     <Values>

      <EnumValue

       Value="0"

       Switch="--compile -o &quot;$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj&quot;"

       DisplayName="Generate hybrid object file  (--compile / -c)"

      />

      <EnumValue

       Value="1"

       Switch="-cuda -o &quot;$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.c&quot;"

       DisplayName="Generate hybrid .c file  (-cuda)"

      />

  />

 

They will be converted into:

<EnumProperty

      Name="NvccCompilation"

      HelpContext="0"

      DisplayName="NVCC Compilation Type"

      Description="Select desired output of NVCC compilation (-c/-compile, -cuda, -gpu, -cubin, -ptx)">

      <EnumValue

        Name="0"

        DisplayName="Generate hybrid object file  (--compile / -c)"

        Switch="--compile -o &quot;$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj&quot;" />

      <EnumValue

        Name="1"

        DisplayName="Generate hybrid .c file  (-cuda)"

        Switch="-cuda -o &quot;$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.c&quot;" />

</EnumProperty>

The $(IntDir) and $(IntputName), however, will not be expanded during compile due to the limitation of the task generated by the task generator. As a result, you will see the following command line that $(IntDir) and $(InputName) are not expanded.

-arch sm_10 -ccbin "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin"    -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /Zi   /MT  " -I -maxrregcount=32  --compile -o "$(IntDir)\$(InputName).cu.obj" "C:\cuda\cuda\cuda2.cu"

 

To work around this, you need to redefine the value in the converted targets file as follows:

<ItemGroup>

<CUDA_Build_Rule Condition="'%(CUDA_Build_Rule.NvccCompilation)' == '0'">

<NvccCompilation>-c -o &quot;$(IntDir)\%(Filename).cu.obj&quot;</NvccCompilation>

</CUDA_Build_Rule>

<CUDA_Build_Rule Condition="'%(CUDA_Build_Rule.NvccCompilation)' == '1'">

<NvccCompilation>-cuda -o &quot;$(IntDir)\%(Filename).cu.c&quot;</NvccCompilation>

</ItemGroup>

 

Here are the modified targets/XML/Props files that will work with VS2010.

Answer 13

Using your new files doesn't seem to help me.  They fix the resolution of the environment variables but when building in VS I still get the 

exited with code -1.

when I try and build in a command prompt I get

 nvcc cannot find a supported cl version. Only MSVC 8.0 and MSVC 9.0 are supported

Any ideas?

I am using CUDA 2.3 but it looks like you are as well.

Answer 14

It might be that nvcc needs cl from earlier version. You can try to install VS2008 version of compiler on the machine and point nvcc to that and see if that can solve your problem.

Answer 15

To be more exact about the previous answer, please set $(VCBinPath) to the directory where VS2008 compiler is.

Also, based on some reported issues, the following is the updated cuda.targets file:

Answer 16

Here is the most up to date version which solves two issues:

1. Resolved incremental build: instead of using  Include="%(CUDA_Build_Rule.Outputs)", use  Include="%(CUDA_Build_Rule.compileout)"

2. Resolved the issue where include path are being passed to the command line as -Ipath1;path2;path3 instead of -Ipath1 –Ipath2 –Ipath3, The fix is to set Separator property for the switch to "" or remove this property. ";" is taken by MSBuild as the default separator.
