CUDA Makefile Include Error - cuda

Question

I'm attempting to write a basic matrix multiplication program using CUDA and C. The code itself doesn't really do anything right now, but should at least compile. After some research on the issue, I've determined that the issue is failure to include CUDA header files, indicating an issue with my Makefile. I'm extremely inexperienced with CUDA (and C for that matter), so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Output on command: make matrixMult1
c99 -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include -c matrixMult1.c -o matrixMult1.o
matrixMult1.c: In function 'main':
matrixMult1.c:77: warning: implicit declaration of function 'cudaMalloc'

Answer 1

CUDA programs need to be compiled by nvcc. While your program does not yet contain any CUDA kernel yet, I believe that is what you want to achieve.
Rename your file from matrixMult1.c to matrixMult1.cu, remove the #include "cuda.h" line (programs compiled with nvcc don't need any CUDA-specific includes) and compile with nvcc instead of gcc (e.g. by setting GCC = nvcc at the beginning of the Makefile).

Two problems here:
You were not including the appropriate header into your code (which you fixed)
Your Makefile is, in fact, broken. It should look something like:
GCC = c99
CUDA_INSTALL_PATH := /usr/local/cuda
INCLUDES := -I. -I$(CUDA_INSTALL_PATH)/include
CUDA_LIBS := -L$(CUDA_INSTALL_PATH)/lib -lcudart
matrixMult1.o: matrixMult1.c
$(GCC) $(INCLUDES) -c matrixMult1.c -o $#
matrixMult1: matrixMult1.o
$(GCC) -o $# matrixMult1.o $(CUDA_LIBS)
[Disclaimer: not tested, use at own risk]
The current problem is that the include path was only specified at the linkage phase of the build.
Note that these changes also preempt the missing symbols error you will get during linkage from not linking with the CUDA runtime library. Note that depending on whether you are using a 32 or 64 bit host OS, you may need to change the library path to $(CUDA_INSTALL_PATH)/lib64 for the linkage to work correctly.
