I'm building 64-bit apps with Visual C++ Express 2010 extended with Windows SDK 7.1 (to add 64 bit compiler). When I use nvcc in 32-bits mode it works well. When I use it in 64-bits mode I get this error:

nvcc fatal   : Visual Studio configuration file '(null)' could not be found for installation at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64/../../..'

What can I do to supply the correct files to nvcc?

Ok, I've found solution. Nvcc is looking for vcvars64.bat file to be in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64, but it exists only in professional version of VS. You have to create it manually putting inside:
CALL setenv /x64

  • Even in VS Pro, I have this problem. Why is Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64 the relevant directory? how does one adapt this solution if the compiler is located in a different path? – Matt J Jan 22 '14 at 19:36
