Can't Detecting CUDA compiler ABI

[enemy1205]

When I try to make the test case with Cmake, I met this error:

[cmake] -- The CUDA compiler identification is unknown
[cmake] -- Detecting CUDA compiler ABI info
[cmake] -- Detecting CUDA compiler ABI info - failed
[cmake] -- Check for working CUDA compiler: /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc

I think the main reason is Detecting CUDA compiler ABI info - failed The CMakeLists begin with below:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(cmake_and_cuda LANGUAGES CXX CUDA)
find_package(CUDA)

Test environment：

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Cmake 3.22
• CUDA 11.4
• g++/gcc 11.3.0

Maybe g++/gcc version not compatible,

Which developer blog post or code sample directory are you referring to? This is a bit of a large monorepo, so please be specific.

Thanks for your reply, I have since found out that this is indeed the problem, only newer CUDA supports gcc 11 and above
