cmake error: build fail on CUDA 9.1

[Yi-Lynn]

Many thanks for your work!

I am trying to re-implemented this project: SceneSketch, which replied on the diffvg. But I was unable to install diffvg on my Ubuntu.

My Environment
Ubuntu 18.04
Python 3.8.0
torch 1.11.0+cu113
CUDA 9.1
highest CUDA version supported by the GPU driver: 11.4

Install procedure I followed

git clone https://github.com/BachiLi/diffvg.git
cd diffvg
git submodule update --init --recursive
python setup.py install

Error log

The highlighted red lines says:

It seems like my CUDA version is too old to build diffvg. I am new to this tool and quite confused about this cmake issue. Is there any way to fix this without having to install a newer version of the CUDA? Thanks!!!

p.s.Some previous issues have already discussed similar error log: 37#issue and 33#issue, but none of them can solve my problem.

[Yi-Lynn]

A quick note on how I address this issue, hopefully useful for people running into similar situations:

1. I reset the environment variable CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR to the installation path of the specific version of CUDA I need. Then the error Could NOT find CUDA: Found unsuitable version "9.1", but required is at least "10" (found /usr) was resolved.
2. However, another problem arose with the PYTHONLIB (the same error as mentioned in 77#issue).
3. So I cleaned the whole diffvg folder from my project, and reinstalled it again, then the CMake error message was gone. But again I got the non-zero exit status 2 error as 37#issue.
4. Finally, this 37#issue was addressed by reinstalling the GCC, referring to the solution from 37#issuecomment-1645270294.
