Some libraries rely on the Common headers from CUDA Samples being present on the system and having them available from a package manager instead (which could be Vcpkg as well, for example) can be useful. Unfortunately, the cuda-samples archives for releases on GitHub are about 150 MB in size and close to 600 MB decompressed, which is a bit of a pain to download when using such packages as part of a build. I suppose a better solution would be to include the relevant headers directly in a project source tree, but that's not always an option.
Could you perhaps consider adding a slimmed down version of the distributed archives to your releases, which do not contain the sample executables, library binaries, docs and possibly even no sample datasets?
Hi!
I am in the process of adding
cuda-samplesas a header-only package to the Conan C++ package manager: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/pull/19116Some libraries rely on the Common headers from CUDA Samples being present on the system and having them available from a package manager instead (which could be Vcpkg as well, for example) can be useful.
