So I have "successfully" built and "installed" pycuda (latest from git) using the 64 bit guide for Windows (http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Windows) but have a couple of quirks to report and a problem preventing me from running.
Quirk 1. Only got it to build once I built boost 1_39 64 bit from source due to weirdness of the precompiled installer from boostpro. Quirk 2. Received the following python setup.py install warnings despite a "successful" install of the egg-info: a. ImportError: <module setuptools.dist' from ... has no 'check_packages' attribute b. ***Error occurred in plausibility checking for path of CUDA toolkit c. C:\Python26\lib\distutils\dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires' warnings.warn(msg) Quirk 3. Post install the PyCuda C Headers did not get installed in a directory compiler.py recognized so I manually put the path to /src/cuda in _find_pycuda_include_path() in compiler.py in order to get things going. When running tests: I get the error when running test_driver.py in call_capture_output() in prefork.py line 196/line 53: ExecError:error invoking 'nvcc --cubin -arch sm_11 -IC:\pycuda\src\cuda kernel.cu': status -1 invoking 'nvcc -cubin -arch sm_11 -IC:\pycuda\src\cuda kernel.cu': nvcc faral : Visual Studio configuration file '(null)' could not be found for installation at 'C:Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin/../..'
