Thanks Ryan,

I got the cuda package (and cufft and OpenCL) building on Travis without too much trouble, after a bit of experimentation on an EC2 instance with the same Linux build as Travis uses.  It was easier than I thought it would be, and the CUDA installation process seems to be getting easier over time, so supporting this sort of thing for newer versions of CUDA should be easy.

Cheers,

Ian.

Hi all,

Sorry for long-delayed response.

Yes, some of our jobs do happen to install accelerate-cuda (like this one, and this one).  We don't have a dedicated set of tests for accelerate-cuda itself.  (But we should soon.  I hope to test all backend ends uniformly.)

We have a pretty heterogeneous config in terms of cuda installs.  Most of our tests run on a set of machines that still have CUDA 4.2, but my own work-station and laptop have 5.5.

Cheers,

Hi Ian,

We haven’t build the cuda package in a CI environment, but Ryan Newton has Accelerate in on a CI server.

Ryan, are you building with the CUDA backend?

Ian, I’m not sure what you mean by CUDA version 6. I believe the latest CUDA release from NVIDIA is 5.5.

Cheers,

Hi Manuel (and/or Trevor!),

Have you had any luck in building CUDA on Travis or any other CI environment?  I've not managed to build it on my desktop machine, but that's mostly due to not having an NVIDIA card and to being on Arch Linux, where the current CUDA install is version 6 instead of 5...  This C2HS regression suite idea has already turned out to be useful, catching a couple of silly little bugs I'd introduced, and I'd really like to include as many packages as possible, and to have it run as a CI test.

I'll have a try on Travis myself, but it would be useful to know if you've already figured out what's needed.

Thanks,

Ian.

Dear All,

I'm trying to make a list of packages that depend on C2HS, in order to make a regression suite to test new releases.  I slightly broke things in the last release and only found out about it when people started reporting regressions when trying to build packages that use C2HS.  The number of moving parts involved make it difficult to write a test suite with full coverage, so the best approach seems to be to make a list of packages and make sure that these all build before doing a release.

I've not been able to figure out a way to do reverse dependency searches on Hackage for build tools, hence the email.

If you have a package that uses C2HS that you'd like added to the regression suite, let me know.

Cheers,

Ian.
