How should a very simple Makefile look like for Cuda compiling under linux

Question

I want to compile a very basic hello world level Cuda program under Linux. I have three files:

• the kernel: helloWorld.cu
• main method: helloWorld.cpp

Answer 1

My version, verbose but transparent:

myapp: myapp.o
    g++ -fPIC -o $@ $< -L /usr/local/cuda/lib -lcudart

myapp.o: myapp.cu
    /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc --compiler-options -fno-strict-aliasing \
    -I/usr/local/cuda/include \
    -DUNIX -O2 -o $@ -c $<

matrixMul: matrixMul.o
    g++ -fPIC -o $@ $< -L /usr/local/cuda/lib -lcudart

# It MUST be named .cu or nvcc compiles as regular C !!! (no __global__)
matrixMul.o: matrixMul.cu
    /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc --compiler-options -fno-strict-aliasing \
    -I/usr/local/cuda/include \
    -DUNIX -O2 -o $@ -c $<
