[Pkg-cmake-team] Bug#818937: cmake: nvcc encloses -ccbin argument with gratuitous quotation marks during intermediate-link phase

[Eyal Rozenberg]

Package: cmake
Version: 3.5.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

(This is a copy of my report on the CMake mantis site:
https://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=16027 )

I've been using CMake on Debian Stretch with CUDA. I'm not sure what the
version was until recently, but everything worked fine for me. Then I
started
getting errors such as:

"/usr/local/cuda/bin/gcc": No such file or directory
CMakeFiles/whatever/build.make:2335: recipe for target
'CMakeFiles/wherever/foo.o' failed

The culprit seems to be /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindCUDA.cmake, line 1554.
Pseudo-patch:

- list(APPEND nvcc_flags -ccbin "\"${CUDA_HOST_COMPILER}\"")
+ list(APPEND nvcc_flags -ccbin "${CUDA_HOST_COMPILER}")

that resolves the issue.


... also, other than the bug - I don't think it's reasonable for cmake
to suggest eclipse or codeblocks, that's kind of out-of-scope IMHO.

Cheers,
Eyal
