Incorrect OS for Cuda Samples (unsupported value [...] for TARGET_OS)
If you are encountering an "unsupported value for TARGET_OS" error when trying to compile CUDA samples, it's likely because the value of the TARGET_OS
environment variable is incorrect. TARGET_OS
should be set to the operating system that you are using, and should be one of the following values:
linux
darwin
(macOS)win
(Windows)
To fix this error, you can try the following steps:
Check the value of
TARGET_OS
: Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command to check the value of theTARGET_OS
environment variable:bashecho $TARGET_OS
If the value of
TARGET_OS
is incorrect or missing, you can set it manually by running the following command:- Linux/macOS:
export TARGET_OS=linux
orexport TARGET_OS=darwin
- Windows:
set TARGET_OS=win
Make sure to replace
linux
,darwin
, orwin
with the correct value for your operating system.- Linux/macOS:
Check the CUDA toolkit version: Make sure that you have installed the correct version of the CUDA toolkit for your operating system. You can download the CUDA toolkit from the NVIDIA website.
Check the compiler version: Make sure that you are using a compatible version of the compiler for your CUDA toolkit and operating system. You can find the list of compatible compiler versions in the CUDA toolkit release notes.
Check the sample code: Make sure that the sample code you are trying to compile is compatible with your version of the CUDA toolkit and operating system. You can find the compatibility information in the sample code's README file or in the CUDA toolkit release notes.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the "unsupported value for TARGET_OS" error when compiling CUDA samples.
