Compiling libtorch example: Visual Studio/CUDA integration problem

C++
1

Tricky to get CUDA/CUDNN working
I found I had to include more on the command line for 64-bit, but was unable to get past some Visual Studio/CUDA integration.

e.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\libtorch
-DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=“c:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v9.0”
-DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release …

– Caffe2: CUDA detected: 9.0
– Caffe2: CUDA nvcc is: C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v9.0/bin/nvcc.exe
– Caffe2: CUDA toolkit directory: c:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v9.0
CMake Error at C:/libtorch/share/cmake/Caffe2/public/cuda.cmake:53 (message):

Please pass CMake generator directly, that is -GVisual Studio 15 2017 Win64.

Thanks
passing -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"
gave me problems, but
-G"Visual Studio 15 2017"
helped things go a little further, until a problem with NVTX not installed.

I think my Visual Studio setup is likely wrong,
but not sure what the best setup is.

I don’t need Visual Studio or any IDE, is it possible to make without it?

Hi! I just had this issue myself, and I’m aware this is an old topic, but adding the following flags solved it for me:

-G “Visual Studio 15 2017” -A x64

so the full line would be:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/libtorch … -G “Visual Studio 15 2017” -A x64
