[Rd] question about Makeconf and nvcc/CUDA

Now let's try again.  I set up the CYGWIN environment command as kindly suggested by Prof. Ripley.

Here are my next steps:

R CMD build cudasize
* checking for file 'cudasize/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'cudasize':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* cleaning src
Warning: C:/Users/erin/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpOWOS4q/Rbuilda8820822194/cudasize/man/f1.Rd:33: unexpected '{'
Warning: C:/Users/erin/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpOWOS4q/Rbuilda8820822194/cudasize/man/f1.Rd:37: unexpected '}'
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building 'cudasize_1.0.tar.gz'


c:\PROGRA~1\R\R-3.0.1\bin\i386>R CMD check cudasize_1.0.tar.gz 
R CMD check cudasize_1.0.tar.gz 
* using log directory 'c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-3.0.1/bin/i386/cudasize.Rcheck'
* using R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)
* using platform: i386-w64-mingw32 (32-bit)
* using session charset: ISO8859-1
* checking for file 'cudasize/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package 'cudasize' version '1.0'
* checking package namespace information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... WARNING
Subdirectory 'src' contains:
  cuda4.cu
These are unlikely file names for src files.
* checking if there is a namespace ... OK
* checking for executable files ... OK
* checking for hidden files and directories ... OK
* checking for portable file names ... OK
* checking whether package 'cudasize' can be installed ... ERROR
Installation failed.
See 'c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-3.0.1/bin/i386/cudasize.Rcheck/00install.out' for details.

And the 00install.out file is:
* installing *source* package 'cudasize' ...
** libs

*** arch - i386
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'cudasize'
* removing 'c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-3.0.1/bin/i386/cudasize.Rcheck/cudasize'

So it doesn't seem that CUDA is  working here.  However, if I compile cuda4.cu from the command line, it works fine, as seen here:

nvcc -m32 --shared -o cuda4.dll cuda4.cu
 nvcc -m32 --shared -o cuda4.dll cuda4.cu
cuda4.cu
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-5_cuda4.cudafe1.gpu
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-10_cuda4.cudafe2.gpu
cuda4.cu
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-5_cuda4.cudafe1.cpp
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-15_cuda4.ii

So that is my situation.

This is Windows 7, R version 3.0.1
Thanks,
Erin

That message is just that you have not set up Rtools fully.  As it says,
set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning in your environment.  See §D.3 in the
R-admin manual, e.g.
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#The-command-line-tools
.

We can see nothing from what you supplied, as it was not a build in
clean sources.
