Issue
I have installed eclipse for C/C++ version on ubuntu 18.04, 64 bit
I have installed cuda 11.0.221. nvcc and nvcc-smi works showing that cuda compiler and device driver are both installed
I have added cuda to eclipse using eclipse->help->install new software as suggested in Nsight Eclipse Plugins Edition Getting Started Guide and Nsight Eclipse Plugins Installation Guide
While installing it failed to install the "nvidia docker container launch" but installed the "cuda developer tools" and "cuda remote launch".
After installation, I don't see any CUDA related entry in Eclipse->Window > Preferences or Eclipse->file->new project. Images are below after the question:
My question is: What to do so that eclipse is enabled with CUDA?
Other information:
OS: ubuntu 18.04 x86_64. cuda 11.0.221.
Eclipse information: Version: 2022-03 (4.23.0) Build id: 20220310-1457 OS: Linux, v.5.4.0-74-generic, x86_64 / gtk 3.22.30 Java vendor: Ubuntu Java runtime version: 11.0.13+8-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.18.04 Java version: 11.0.13
Solution
If your version of Eclipse is compatible with the version of the NsightEE Eclipse plugins provided with the CUDA version you're trying to install for, then - after a successful installation - the File > New Project... dialog will have the entry C/C++ > CUDA C/C++ Project.
If it doesn't show up, then the installation has failed. I would guess that it might be a version incompatibility, and you might try using an older version of Eclipse (or a newer version of CUDA). Alternatively, perhaps the installation procedure got botched somehow.
