如何在Nvidia Nsight Eclipse中使用GNU科学库（gsl）

Question

I would like to use some gsl functions in my CUDA code. (in Nsight eclipse on linux) I have installed gsl and now I should setup the linker setting in eclipse.

I have tried to follow the steps outlined here , but I have some issues. In the project properties there is no "C/C++ Build" menu only "Build" and I was not able to find the setting mentioned in the above blog post.

How can I setup the linker settings ?

Thanks in advance!

You won't be able to use gsl routines directly in CUDA device code. The gsl libraries ( -lgsl ) are compiled for x86 usage and will not run on a GPU.

If you only want to use gsl routines in host code, it should be sufficient to simply specify the include file and path, the linker path, and the linker library:

-I/usr/local/include/gsl
-L/usr/local/lib (or /usr/local/lib64)
-lgsl
