SVGALIBS - Graphics Library
This library is a Linux graphics library and thus will not work on windows (I have tried very briefly on finding a way but could not for the reason that Windows does not have X11/xorgs/linux tty devices). The program needs to be run on a Linux machine because it is using svgalibs which is an archaic way to display stuff on the linux screen (from quick google search on the svga library).
Nvcc cannot find library/header)
a.k.a. Dun Goofing where nvcc locates its header files - as experienced by Neil Guzman
Find nvcc.profile (usually located in "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\bin") and insert this:
TOP = $(_HERE_)/.. PATH += $(TOP)/open64/bin;$(TOP)/nvvm;$(_HERE_);$(TOP)/lib; INCLUDES += "-I$(TOP)/include" "-I$(TOP)/include/cudart" "-IZ:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/include" $(_SPACE_) LIBRARIES =+ $(_SPACE_) "/LIBPATH:$(TOP)/lib/$(_WIN_PLATFORM_)" cudart.lib CUDAFE_FLAGS += OPENCC_FLAGS += PTXAS_FLAGS +=
The most important part to note is: "INCLUDES += ..."
What you want to put is "-IC:/PATH/TO/THE/INCLUDE/FILES", which in my case was: "-IZ:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/include".
Hope this helps anyone, as it insanely irritated me as changing up the environment path on windows did nothing.
