Cmake error using cuda_add_executable command - c++

Question

I am new in cuda programming, I want to build my program and there is a .cu function which is using cuda. I am joind to this project and the project is huge. The *.cpp file of project are added to project using script files.cmake
SUBDIRS(
src/ThirdParty/Matrice
)
set(SRC_CPP_FILES
Operation.cpp
Operator.cpp
ThirdParty/mt97.cpp
Mesh.cpp
...
)

and the CmakeList.txt of this project is written :

According to my knowledge i should add below command to .cmake file or cmakeLists.txt!
find_package(CUDA REQUIRED)
add_definitions(-D_FORCE_INLINES)
set (CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS ${CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS} --gpu-architecture sm_21 -std=c++11)
cuda_add_executable(PILOT_plugin
testcuda.cu)
the 'PILOT_plugin' is the name of project and .cu file is my cuda file. but I get '[cmake_check_build_system] Error 1'. in CmakeError.log file I dont understand anything of it.
this is the cmakeError.log

Why I cannot add .cu file to the project? the main project use gcc to compile. Is there any other way that i can add .cu file to the main project and compile using nvcc ?
P.S: if I make a simple project and do the same thing as above in CmakeLists.txt is working well, but I dont understand why I cannot add .cu to this huge project
any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

If you're using a recent version of cmake then you shouldn't be using the cuda_add_executable extension and use the built in functionality for supporting CUDA (see https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/building-cuda-applications-cmake/).
So what you need to do is modify your cmakelists like this:
project(PILOT_plugin LANGUAGE C CXX CUDA)
The you use the normal add_executable / add_library macros.
However I don't think that this is your issue: I think your install of Qt4 isn't setup properly.
