Compilation with new CUDA version

[Jearde]

Hello, I would like to try and compare this software to other RIR simulations as a preparation for my master thesis. Because pf the age of this software, I'm struggling to compile it on a newer system. My current attempts were:

• Create a Docker environment with OpenGL and CUDA 10.2
• Update the CMakeLists.txt with the my CUDA architecture -gencode arch=compute_75,code=sm_75

I also tried to use the binary from releases but wasn't successful even with trying to install CUDA 5.5. The libcudart.so.5.5 cannot be found.

So far I was able to:

• Compile Voxelizer
• Run cmake without errors
• Make ParallelFDTD until an error occurs I don't understand

The compilation error I get is:

Building NVCC (Device) object src/CMakeFiles/libParallelFDTD.dir/kernels/libParallelFDTD_generated_kernels3d.cu.o
CMake Warning (dev) at libParallelFDTD_generated_kernels3d.cu.o.cmake:107:
  Syntax Warning in cmake code at column 85

  Argument not separated from preceding token by whitespace.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

I hope that someone can help me despite the age of this project.

Hi Jearde

I'm also interested in compiling this on a new system. Nice idea to put it in a docker. Were you able to solve the compilation error?

[schmiph2]

I think the first problem is the argument -DBOOST_NOINLINE='__attribute__ ((noinline))' in line https://github.com/juuli/ParallelFDTD/blob/ba8fbf14b832c7f4936c952f909c5c47c8056877/CMakeLists.txt#L67 When I remove the argument, the libParallelFDTD and parallelFDTD are built. But there are still some errors in the python lib and the tests...

I wasn't able to compile it and had to abound using this program for my current project. Anyway, I am still interested in using it on a new platform in a Docker container.

Have you solved this issue, too, now?
