Binary doesn't execute on windows 10 64-bit

ghost commented 8 years ago

I downloaded the windows binary from your site (http://www.rchoetzlein.com/fluids3/) extracted and tried to run. It shows an error window that states "The program can't start because cudart32_50_35.dll is missing from your computer...". I just updated to the latest Nvidia drivers and I am running Windows 10 Pro build 10240 with a Intel i7 @ 2.93GHz and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 with 2 gigs of ram.

Fyi, I am working on an update Fluids version which builds with VS 2012 and CUDA 7.0+. For the error you are getting, you need to install CUDA 5.0 with Fluids 3.1

Currently, I have CUDA 8.0 installed on my Windows 10 system. Do you know any side effects if I install CUDA 5? I want to try your impressive program but don't want to mess with the latest drivers installation.

[UPDATE] Just found quick and easy solution:

I downloaded CUDA Toolkit 5.0 msi from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-50-archive
extracted these files cuinj32_50_35.dll npp32_50_35.dll cufft32_50_35.dll curand32_50_35.dll cusparse32_50_35.dll cublas32_50_35.dll cudart32_50_35.dll to the fluids_v31_bin directory and voilà, fluids3 started working! And it works really impressive, getting about 10 fps on 4 million particles, and 38-40 on one million (on my GTX 1070).

any news on this issue ? you have a dll in the repo but apparently it's the incorrect version, isn't it ?

CsatiZoltan commented 6 years ago

@ker2x The code was built with CUDA 5, if you have newer release, you have to do one of

build it on your own with the new CUDA version you have
do what @sensboston did
do what I did according to the answer by baehny in a related issue: https://github.com/rchoetzlein/fluids3/issues/2
