Hi, I've just installed dev-util/nvidia-cuda-sdk-5.0.35. Some time back I had installed nvidia-cuda-sdk-2.2-r1 on a different machine. The code examples had Makefiles in their source trees to build them. It seems these are not included any more. Is there some reason for this? Is it expected that some IDE like Eclipse will be used to build the examples? Maybe I'm missing the point. For my own use I've modified the ebuild to not strip out the makefiles prior to installation. ************************************** $ diff -u nvidia-cuda-sdk-5.0.35.ebuild.orig

(In reply to comment #0) > Is there some reason for this? Is it expected that some IDE like Eclipse > will be used to build the examples? Maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe I was to radical. My idea of "examples" of code was that you could look up how you can write that code, but there isn't any need to compile it. But your are right, we shouldn't strip the Makefiles from the examples. I will readd them.

Thanks Justin. I tend to learn by starting with working examples and dig into the internals to find out what's going on. Being able to just make some minor code changes to code and then "push the button" to see what happens is the way I tend to learn new environments. Having the Makefiles makes the button a lot easier to push. Though I've also started using the nVidia Eclipse nsight IDE. That's pretty slick. Many thanks for the rapid response on this. Much appreciated. -Rob.
