Visual Studio 2015 - project load failed

[pegasone]

Project load fails when trying to open src\Windows\somoclu\somoclu.sln (1.6.1) in Visual Studio Community 2015 Update 3 on Windows 10. The error message in Solution Explorer is,: "The project requires user input. Reload the project for more information." What am I missing?

Have you tried reloading the project as the message says?

[pegasone]

Yes, that's the first thing that I did.

[xgdgsc]

Does the Output console show CUDA version not found? If so modify version number in somoclu.vcxproj:

  <ImportGroup Label="ExtensionSettings">
    <Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\BuildCustomizations\CUDA 7.5.props" />
  </ImportGroup>

and

  <ImportGroup Label="ExtensionTargets">
    <Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\BuildCustomizations\CUDA 7.5.targets" />
  </ImportGroup>

to the CUDA version you installed.

[pegasone]

CUDA is not installed to my system (using an AMD GPU). I just want to build a console version of somoclu on my machine. The python version seems to work as expected and apparently can use all 8 logical processors, I would like to be able to do the same from a command prompt.

[xgdgsc]

Then you can try removing the above mentioned sections from somoclu.vcxproj.

[pegasone]

After deleting those sections I can load the solution/project. Build fails with two errors:

C3016: 'som_y': index variable in OpenMP 'for' statement must have signed integral type

C2371: 'int8_t': redefinition; different basic types

I am using the Microsoft MPI SDK v7.1

[xgdgsc]

Have you deleted the CUDA macro in project settings?

[pegasone]

I deleted all CUDA-related information in .vcxproj; the errors persist.

[pegasone]

Well, now it builds with no errors but it doesn't run. Three threads exit with code 1.

[xgdgsc]

@pegasone How did you run it? Did you give it any arguments? I tried here with no run problem.

[pegasone]

Yes, actually it fails when run in VS2015 w/o parameters. The error message "Incorrect number of mandatory parameters", as well as other information, are shown when run at the command prompt. Thanks!

You may need to check the vcxproj file content to see if versions and paths match you installation.
