Bug 413421 – dev-util/nvidia-cuda-{sdk,toolkit}-4.2 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marius Brehler 2012-04-24 21:39:51 UTC]

CUDA 4.2 has finally been released.

I would appreciate a version bump. On the Download page CUDA 4.2 nvidia-drivers version 295.41 are listed as current developer drivers, but the "deviceQuery" application (included in the sdk) tells for version 295.40, which I use:

CUDA Driver Version / Runtime Version          4.2 / 4.1

Maybe, 295.41 is only needed for newer Kepler cards.

Reproducible: Always

Also, it adds support for gcc 4.6

These are in my overlay.
Testing was minimum. The examples compile and I'm able to run them. The exact versions of the dependencies might require some tweaking; I left them as they were in 4.1.

I wasn't able to compile the sdk examples because some of the provided Makefiles have CUDA_INSTALL_PATH hardcoded to /usr/local/cuda. I've modified a bit your ebuild accordingly and now I'm able to compile sdk examples just fine. Please refer to the pull request at github.

Downloaded Nicolas ebuilds from github. Works fine here, but maybe you should adjust the driver dependency regarding my initial comment on the driver version.

As Rick Farina finally bumped the toolkit and sdk to version 4.2, this request can be closed.

Thanks for poking me about the bug, I had missed it.
