This is caused by a combination of two things: 1. nvcc does not accept standard flags such as fpic or pthread 2. Packages such as Qt or your call to set_target_properties not handling CUDA/C++ compilers having different flags.
For your pthread example you can use the following ( which is what FindThreads.cmake does ) set_target_property((mytarget PROPERTIES COMPILE_OPTIONS "$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CUDA>:SHELL:-Xcompiler -pthread> $<$<NOT:$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CUDA>>:-pthread>") On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 1:31 PM <victornem...@free.fr> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a project with a few dependencies (Qt, opencv, aravis, etc) and I > would like to add some sources in CUDA. > > Here is a minimal example: > > cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0) > project(myproject CXX CUDA) > find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core) > add_executable(mytarget main.cpp gpu.cu) > target_link_libraries(mytarget PUBLIC Qt5::Core) > > The previous example gives the following output > > [ 25%] Building CUDA object CMakeFiles/mytarget.dir/gpu.cu.o > nvcc fatal : Unknown option 'fPIC' > make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/mytarget.dir/build.make:76: > CMakeFiles/mytarget.dir/gpu.cu.o] Error 1 > make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:73: CMakeFiles/mytarget.dir/all] Error 2 > make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Error 2 > > I would get the same problem if I replace target_link_libraries with > > set_target_properties(mytarget PROPERTIES COMPILE_OPTIONS -pthread) > > Does anyone know why I get this error?
