I'm using CUDA 5.5 and my compiler is VC2012. My projects consists of 2 .cu files. I need to use dynamic parallelism so I have enabled "Generate relocatable device code" option. As soon as this option is enabled I get the following linking error:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __fatbinwrap_54_tmpxft_0000110c_00000000_8_cuda_device_runtime_cpp1_ii_5f6993ef
If I turn that option off the error disappears. The error does not depend on the contents of the files - if I comment out everything in them (#if 0 .... #endif so that they are essentially empty files) I still get the same error.
Update: I installed VC2010, and I still get the exact same error message!
Update 2: I got really tired with this whole thing so I took a dynamic parallelism sample project from VC2010 from the SDK samples (cdpSimplePrint), replaced the files in it and compiled. The issue is gone. Tried to compare the settings between the two projects, but I couldn't find anything. I don't know what caused it, but frankly, at this stage I don't care already, as long as I have a workaround.
