    I am not sure if this is a cuda issue or a qmake/qtcreator config issue but here is the output.

    I have tried the following:

    • changing the compiler in Tools>Options>Kits as in this screenshot.

      • alt text
      • I do get a warning saying
    :-1: warning: "/usr/bin/gcc-6" is used by qmake, but "/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-5" is configured in the kit.
    Please update your kit or choose a mkspec for qmake that matches your target environment better. 
    

    and likewise for G++ however as you can see it's just a different path. I actually went into the Qt mkspec files and changed it to gcc-5. I will go into detail about that next.

    • Changing the options in the Qt mkspec files.

      • I went into the "linux-g++-64" and "linux-g++" mkspec folders (liux-g++ is the one it said it uses by default but I manually set the kit to use linux-g++-64) and followed the included files and changed all the options to gcc-5 and g++-5 respectively. You can see that it worked in the warning above.
    • Changing options in my Project.pro file

      • I changed SuperRes.pro and here is the current contents.

    }
    

    I added -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++-5 and -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc-5 wherever I could be it the NVCC flags or qmake options. I just put it wherever I could and it hasn't raised any extra warnings or errors so I can't imagine it's doing any harm but it's definitely not fixing the errors.

    NOTE:

    I was trying this with GCC/G++ 6 when I had 7 enabled first then I tried gcc/g++ 5 because I thought maybe it meant anything above 6.0 so 6.4.0 would also be bad. Again i do not know exactly what the cause of this is. I know it's coming from cuda not being compatible with GCC but I don't know if qt-creator might be what is setting the GCC version here. Thanks for your time.

    NOTE2:

    I wasn't sure what part of the forum to post this in. I thought General and Desktop might be appropriate.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      What Linux distribution are you running ?

        Ok I just wasn't google searching the right phrases. This, at least, seems to fix the issue. Once I have successfully compiled the program I will delete this post or mark as a duplicate respecitvely.

          No reason to delete this post.

          That will make the solution even more visible :)
