vl_compilenn -DNDEBUG expected a number

[ghost]

Hi, I am trying to enable GPU on Windows 10 MATLAB r2019b. I have CUDA 10.1. I get an error shown below. How do I fix it?

Error using vl_compilenn>nvcc_compile (line 617)

the problem here is the -O option.

it needs a number. changing it to -O0 will fix it.

Thank you for the response! I commented those lines out and that worked too. The next problem I face is when linking the compiled mex files, “cannot find gdiplus.lib” or something to that extent. I am using Windows 10, MS Visual Studio 2017 for my c++ compiler and MATLAB 2019b. Do you onow how to fix this? Thanks, Matthew Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

@kayrish52 I have the same problem. Did you solve it?

Hi. May I know which line of code have you changed -O option to number -O0?
Thanks.

Hello, I have the same problem and I followed shi-yan's comments.
After I changed -O to -O0 from line 340 like:

flags.base{end+1} = '-O0'

I still got an error. I tested 2 different environments.

1. Env1 : Windows10, Matlab R2017a, Visual studio 2015, Cuda 10.2, cuDNN v.7.65, matconvnet 1.0-beta 25.

Building is progressed for a while, but error happens.

Error using mex
Unknown MEX argument '-O0'.

Error in vl_compilenn>mex_compile (line 584)
mex(args{:}) ;

2. Env2 : Windows10, Matlab R2019b, Visual studio 2019, Cuda 10.2, cuDNN v.7.65, matconvnet 1.0-beta 25.

The "nvcc fatal : '-DNDEBUG': expected a number " error message disappeared but I got the left error messages

Error using : vl_compilenn>nvcc_compile (line 616)

Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\bin"  failed.

I found out the cl.exe path is wrong. I modify cl_path like below:

%cl_path = fileparts(check_clpath()); % check whether cl.exe in path %    %original code
  cl_path ='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\bin\Hostx64\x64';  % modify code

Then the same error happens with Env1.

Did you find any solution for this?
