How to run cuda-gdb in windows? Can I use cygwin for it?

I want to debug my application using cuda-gdb in windows. Is it possible to run cuda-gdb in windows? Will cygwin help to do it?

Solution

  • cuda-gdb is not officially supported for or intended for usage in a windows environment. From here:

    This document introduces CUDA-GDB, the NVIDIA® CUDA® debugger for Linux and Mac OS.

    cygwin is not an officially supported environment for running any of the CUDA linux tools on windows.

    The recommended debugger for windows applications is NSIGHT Visual Studio Edition, which will be automatically installed by the CUDA 7.5 installer for windows, assuming a compatible version of visual studio is found.

    For supported configurations, refer to the CUDA 7.5 windows installation guide.
