Specify compiler NVCC uses to compile host-code


When running nvcc, it always uses the Visual C++ compiler (cl.exe). How can I make it use the GCC compiler?

Setting the CC environment-variable to gcc didn't fix it. I also couldn't find any option for this in the executeables help-output.


Solution

  • On Windows, NVCC only supports the Visual C++ compiler (cl.exe) for host compilation.

    You can of course compile .cpp (non-CUDA) code using GCC and link the objects with objects generated by nvcc.
