NVCC does not support Apple Clang version 8.x #1384

mlloreda · 2016-04-14T18:56:15Z

Error message: nvcc fatal : The version ('80000') of the host compiler ('Apple clang') is not supported

Steps to fix:

Log in to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Download Xcode CLT (Command Line Tools) 7.3
Install CLT
Run sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Verify that clang has been downgraded via clang --version

This issue does not affect CUDA >= 8.0

samedling · 2016-09-28T20:59:03Z

First of all, CUDA 8.0 isn't widely available yet as it hasn't been officially released. Second, even CUDA 8 doesn't work with the current version of the Apple LLVM (version 8.0.0). It produces the following error message:
nvcc fatal : The version ('80000') of the host compiler ('Apple clang') is not supported

gmachiraju · 2016-09-28T22:08:30Z

^Running into the same error message, @samedling

shehzan10 · 2016-09-28T22:11:18Z

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, this is an issue for CUDA to handle rather than ArrayFire. We are just a consumer on this front. That's why we have marked it as a known issue.

CUDA 8 has been release as of today. However, as far as I can see, there is no download available for OSX.

shehzan10 · 2016-10-12T14:39:45Z

CUDA 8 for OSX has been released and supports clang version 7.3.
It however does NOT support XCode 8/Clang 8.

Editing this issue to reflect that.

henrythung · 2016-10-25T22:12:16Z

Downloaded CLT from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/.
another issue occurred:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

mlloreda · 2016-10-26T11:36:12Z

@henrythung it looks like you may need to install XCode if you haven't already done so.

Sitin · 2016-11-23T13:30:25Z

I have CUDA 8.0.46, OS X 10.12 and Xcode 8.1 but still have the same issue.

admercs · 2016-11-27T21:25:32Z

To switch Xcode CLT back to 8.1 run this:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

pavanky · 2016-11-28T02:55:46Z

@Sitin the issue description says you need to downgrade to 7.3 for CUDA to work.

mlloreda · 2016-12-08T17:13:40Z

Great news - CUDA 8.0.55 now supports Xcode 8!

Those of you who downgraded to CLT 7.3 need to upgrade to CLT 8.x, otherwise building the CUDA backend will fail due to a missing <string.h>.

joseph-zhong · 2017-04-04T02:22:32Z

I now get

nvcc fatal   : The version ('80100') of the host compiler ('Apple clang') is not supported

Through clang --version I see the following

Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.38)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

I have Xcode and CLT both installed and am not sure what to do?

mlloreda · 2017-04-04T11:25:13Z

@joseph-zhong, it looks like you're using Xcode 8.3, which CUDA (v8.0.61) does not yet support. :(

Downgrading to CLT 8.2 should work.

For reference:

Log in to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Download Xcode CLT (Command Line Tools) 8.2
Install CLT
Run sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Verify that clang has been downgraded via clang --version

HiCraigChen · 2017-04-04T13:32:16Z

Thanks a lot, @mlloreda
I have the same problem when I install tensorflow GPU version

I did your method step by step and it worked !

kwccoin · 2017-04-15T02:19:49Z

work for both Mac Pro and MacBook Pro until 10.12 as long as using switch above and not the latest clang version (7.x and 8.2 both ok)

80100 can work with some nvcc programs

I used "80100" and nvcc work for some of my other programs.

... but not sample

`

install CLT 8.2 it is sort of ok with message about "command line tools instance"

I google and see this discussion and thanks the hint to switch to CLT 8.2. It is sort of ok with warning message about "command line tools instance"

Need to use "sudo make" to compile sample code:

Isachenko · 2017-04-26T08:35:26Z

Hi have the same problem, have tried @mlloreda solution.
But after I switched to version 8.2 I got error message
"nvcc fatal : GNU C/C++ compiler is no longer supported as a host compiler on Mac OS X."
after running make command.
Looks like it try to run gcc instead of clang now. Don't know what to do.

mlloreda · 2017-04-26T12:28:42Z

@Isachenko have CC or CXX been set on your system?

Isachenko · 2017-04-26T19:00:11Z

@mlloreda no, both this variables are empty, if I understand you right.

NataliaDiaz · 2017-04-28T23:02:54Z

I still get the same error when following the downgrading steps (in the last step installing Torch ./install.sh):

@NataliaDiaz What is the version of CUDA you have ?

NataliaDiaz · 2017-04-28T23:13:49Z

nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

mlloreda · 2017-04-28T23:25:54Z

@NataliaDiaz what does clang --version return?

mlloreda · 2017-04-28T23:27:49Z

@Isachenko next step would be to check your symlinks. Make sure that you are pointing to clang and not gcc.

pavanky · 2017-04-29T00:05:42Z

@NataliaDiaz you need v8.0.61, please check the nvidia website and download the right version.

NataliaDiaz · 2017-04-29T07:27:39Z

My clang version is Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)

Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

mlloreda · 2017-05-01T17:55:35Z

@NataliaDiaz you have two options:

Update to the latest CUDA (v8.0.61) or
Downgrade to CLT 7.3

guillochon · 2017-05-01T21:43:00Z

@mlloreda I logged into the the Apple Developer page but your direct link to XCT 8.2 redirects me to https://developer.apple.com/unauthorized/. Instead people should visit https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and search the list there for XCT 8.2.

To anyone stuck on this. Even though you might change the xcode version with xcode-select, and your clang version might say it's an older version, for some reason the compiler that ends up being used is still the latest version of XCode. Renaming the latest version of xcode.app to xcode_<new_version>.app after installing the older version to xcode_<old_version>.app fixed this for me.

Other things to try:
If you see this message somewhere in the failed compile
Automatic GPU detection failed. Building for common architectures.
re-install CUDA toolkit AFTER changing XCode versions and restarting your computer:

I made it with "NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Mac OS X
1.1. System Requirements" in Cuda Toolkit Documantation.

My operation is MacOS 10.12.5
and I did downgrade X_Code to X_Code 8.2

Download X_Code 8.2
Unzip "Xcode_8.2.xip" and movie it to "Application folder" as /Applications/Xcode_8.2.app
Run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_8.2.app/Contents/Developer
Check version by Run /usr/bin/cc --version, it should be Apple LLVM version 8.0.0

EliezerIsrael · 2017-07-02T18:34:26Z

After downgrading XCode to 8.2, I found that I had to clear out the build directory and start the build from scratch.

Note that the CUDA 9.1 driver supports macOS 10.13. This means that existing CUDA applications can be run on Mac systems with CUDA 9.1 installed, however new CUDA applications cannot be compiled with CUDA 9.1 on macOS 10.13.
