GCC Version On CUDA 8.0 #98

Closed JMurph2015 closed 7 years ago

JMurph2015 commented 7 years ago

Hi! So the max version that this package's build script will allow for gcc on CUDA 8.0 is 5.3.1. However, even Xenial has moved on with gcc-5 up to 5.4.0 at least. https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/gcc-5 This makes it impossible to build on anything newer than a slightly out of date 16.04 machine without hacking the build.jl. I use 17.04, so for me it's just flat out ridiculous to get anything older than 5.4.1 (which works fine with CUDA).

I propose bumping the build.jl requirement from 5.3.1 to 5.4.1. Thanks!

This seems to be fixed on master already. @maleadt tag a new version?

JMurph2015 commented 7 years ago

@Keno Good catch, I hadn't actually checked master, just the build script coming from Julia's install. A new tag would be much appreciated.

Yeah, sorry, forgot about tagging a new version. There's been plenty changes in CUDAdrv though, so I'll first do a more thorough check later today.
