Troubleshooting

Common build problems

Some common errors might crop while trying to build the library, since the makefiles were created for a specific environment. In case you improve them and find a way to generalize them, I am grateful if you can submit your code.

Linker errors when linking the CUDA runtime "cudart"

I have a 64 bit system, and the CUDA library path is hard-coded to end with "lib64". On your system, the correct CUDA runtime might reside e.g in "/usr/local/cuda/lib" instead. In this case, do the following:

• Locate the COCOLIB project files (ending with .pro) in "cocolib/" and "examples/".

• Change the line "CUDA_LIBDIR = lib64" to "CUDA_LIBDIR = lib"

Still Linker errors

Verify that you have the correct Qt version installed. Run

qmake --version

and check for Qt version >= 4 and qmake version >= 2. If it is outdated, update the Qt development packages.
