cudpp on linux

[Ankit Sood]

Hi,

I'm new at using CUDA and am studying a code which was originally wriiten on windows using visual studio. I'm trying to execute the code on Linux platform.
I find a file named 'RecMST.vcproj' in the original package. Can you please expalin me how can I use this on linux. What importance does this file have?

thanks...

Hello Ankit,

I'm not aware of RecMST.vcproj being related to the cudpp library.
Are you sure you are downloading it from the correct location? We have
moved to http://cudpp.github.io/ now. Unfortunately, we can only
provide support for cudpp-related issues, so if this is from a
different project, we won't be able to help.

Hi Edmund,

I found this file in a package which contains cuda kernals and program files. The code was implemented on windows using visual studios. All I wish to know is that what purpose does a *.vcproj file serve in windows? Do I need to use a linux equivalent? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ankit,

This is a mailing list for users of the CUDPP library, not for general help compiling CUDA code.  To ask general CUDA questions, try devtalk.nvidia.com forums or stackoverflow.com.

To answer your question, a vcproj is a Visual C++ project file.  It requires Visual Studio and Windows. If the project doesn't have a Makefile or other build system that can be used on Linux, you would of course have to create one from scratch.
