How can I avoid this error when creating a MEX file? "Error: Link of 'mexGPUexample.mex64' failed."
显示 更早的评论
Hi all,
I am trying to compile the "mexGPUexample.cu" code according to the directions here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/distcomp/run-mex-functions-containing-cuda-code.html
I've followed the steps (changed environment variables, etc.) but when try to compile, I get the following:
>> mex mexGPUexample.cu
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2013B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Link of 'mexGPUexample.mexw64' failed.
Unable to complete successfully.
Is there a problem with space characters in a path name somewhere? I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 with MATLAB R2013b and CUDA 5.5 with the MS Visual Studio 2012 Pro C compiler.
Any help is appreciated! Here is the verbose output:
>> mex -v mexGPUexample.cu

Odd, normally it would give a reason for the failure. I have to wonder whether it was able to find "link" at all?

Try
!link
and see whether MS Windows complains about it link being found or if instead link starts up

Try editing the indicated mexopts.bat file, and add -v to the beginning of LINKFLAGS . Save and run again. Perhaps the output will indicate the problem.

It appears that it should have been /VERBOSE
My guess is that it is not going to help.
I wonder if maybe the wrong LINK program is being used, but I do not really know how to check that in MS Windows.

Hi Edward,
You stated you were using CUDA 5.5 and VS 2012. When you build MEX files for the GPU, you must use the same version of the CUDA toolkit that was used to build the MATLAB GPU support. In the case of R2013b, that means CUDA 5.0. You can find out which CUDA toolkit version was used to build MATLAB from the gpuDevice command:
>> d=gpuDevice;d.ToolkitVersion
ans =
5
In addition, the MEX files that ship with R2013b are written for VS2010, as VS2012 was not officially supported by the CUDA 5.0 toolkit. If you have access to CUDA 5.0 and VS 2010 I would recommend trying that tool chain. If you are on maintenance and have access to the R2014a prerelease, you could also try compiling the code with that version of MATLAB, as it is written for CUDA 5.5.

You can easily maintain both versions of CUDA for your purposes, you just need to manage your CUDA_PATH environment variable. Similarly, you wouldn't have any trouble installing VS2010 and VS2012 alongside each other, if you couldn't get VS2012 to play ball with CUDA 5.0.
