G'day bliako,

We had some discussions about CUDA a few weeks ago (Perl GPGPU Modules) so I was looking forward to trying this out. I downloaded and extracted the files from github without any problems.

I do have all of the prerequisite components (nvcc, special compiler, etc.). Just as an FYI for others, the SDK was about a 2Gb download (from memory). I'm running Cygwin on Win10: the version of SDK I got lives in "Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA". The spaces are a problem.

When running 'perl Makefile.PL', it correctly found '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v11.4/bin/nvcc' but then immediately failed with 'Can't exec "/cygdrive/c/Program": No such file or directory ...".

I expect I could find a work-around myself (e.g. create a symlink, modify 'Inline::CUDA::Utils::find_dependencies', etc.); although, I haven't looked into this in any detail.

I suspect others running Strawberry Perl, ActivePerl, and so on, may run into exactly the same problem. The solution may be as simple as quoting one or more pathnames. It would be great if you could look into this; I'm more than happy to help out with testing.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
