Building CPU only on win10

[Pete Stratton]

Sorry this is a newbie question. I have an i5 running windows 10 home

Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586

I've installed vis studio community 2015

Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1

I've downloaded Carlsim and followed the installation instructions for cpu only mode

- loaded solution CARLsim.cpuonly

- set CPU_ONLY to 1 in user.mk

- set build to Release x64

When I try to build the solution I get 20 errors. All of them are either

- Cannot open include file: 'cuda.h': No such file or directory

- Cannot open include file: 'gtest/gtest.h': No such file or directory

Do I actually need both of these? I know I can download and install them, but it doesn't seem straightforward, eg this information for installing gtest with vis studio:

https://blog.knatten.org/2012/09/26/installing-and-using-googletest-with-visual-studio/

Despite the detailed instructions here, many comments say it still didn't work, other env vars might need to be set, and various other traps.

With no vis studio experience I'm not at all confident of being able to get this to work. Is it just a matter of persevering until you finally get there or is there an easy/obvious solution that I'm missing?

Thanks!

Pete

Hi Pete, Could you try out Debug/x64 first. This configuration should be fine. As for Release/x64, You can add __CPU_ONLY__ to preprocessor definitions. We'll update CARLsim.cpuonly.sln in the next release

Best, Ting

Thanks Ting, that fixed the cuda header problems. I still have 13 errors about gtest/gtest.h though. Do I need to install gtest, and if so are you able to point me to some helpful instructions somewhere?

Regards,

Pete
