Strange errors of compiling pcl1.8 with cuda 11.3


System: cuda 11.3, gcc 7.5, boost 1.65.1, pcl 1.8.0

When I compile code that uses PCL library, it shows the following error

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/file_io.h(264): error: namespace "boost" has no member "numeric_cast"

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/file_io.h(264): error: type name is not allowed

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/file_io.h(280): error: namespace "boost" has no member "numeric_cast"

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/file_io.h(280): error: type name is not allowed

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/file_io.h(346): error: namespace "boost" has no member "iequals"

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/file_io.h(372): error: namespace "boost" has no member "iequals"

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/pcd_io.h(485): error: name followed by "::" must be a class or namespace name

/usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/pcd_io.h(493): error: name followed by "::" must be a class or namespace name

I looked into the file_io.h, found that the related code is <pcl/io/boost.h>. In this file, the header <boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp> contains the numeria_cast function, obviously this header is not included. Is this error related to the macro __CUDACC__? How do I solve this issue? /usr/include/pcl-1.8/pcl/io/boost.h is:

#ifndef _PCL_IO_BOOST_H_
#define _PCL_IO_BOOST_H_

#  pragma GCC system_header

Solution

  • Right, I solved it by using normal gcc compiler... DONT USE NVCC!
