This is a follow up Q to CUDA incompatible with my gcc version.
I've recently updated to Ubuntu 12.04 as well as grabbing the latest CUDA toolkit. My nvcc --version is showing: Cuda compilation tools, release 5.0 (My driver ver is 304.43.)

I'm trying to fix my build environment. I get errs about using GCC 4.6. I can probably fix this w/ the help of the above link. I'm wondering about the other 8 packages in this large project. Should I be concerned with building other pieces with one version of GCC-4.6 and my cuda stuff with GCC-4.5? I figure they should all be compatible, but I've never run into this before. Is this anything I need to be concerned with?

  • Can't you just build the entire project with GCC-4.5? It seems like that would be a quick and probably harmless solution unless you need a specific feature of 4.6, which seems doubtful. Commented Jan 18, 2013 at 1:41

I have run into incompatibility issues with different versions of GCC.

Specifically, GCC 4.7 and 4.6. My Qt applications wouldn't compile for me, because I was using GCC 4.7, and the library was compiled against GCC 4.6. They compiled fine, and there seemed to be no problem at first. But then I ran into trouble actually running them.

I would recommend against using different versions of GCC in the same project.
