I have tried to build OpenCV 3.1 using CMake (the gui version) to enable Cuda. I have installed Cuda version 7.5 64-bit and CMake automatically found the correct path to the Cuda toolkit. I made sure that the WITH_CUDA value was set to ON, and pressed configure. This is what I got concerning Cuda:
CUDA detected: 7.5
CUDA NVCC target flags: -gencode;arch=compute_20,code=sm_20;-gencode;arch=compute_20,code=sm_21;-gencode;arch=compute_30,code=sm_30;-gencode;arch=compute_35,code=sm_35;-gencode;arch=compute_30,code=compute_30
...
Extra dependencies: comctl32 gdi32 ole32 setupapi ws2_32 vfw32 cudart nppc nppi npps cufft -LC:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v7.5/lib/x64
...
Other third-party libraries:
Use IPP: 9.0.1 [9.0.1]
at: C:/OpenCV-3.1.0/opencv/sources/3rdparty/ippicv/unpack/ippicv_win
Use IPP Async: NO
Use Eigen: NO
Use Cuda: YES (ver 7.5)
Use OpenCL: YES
Use custom HAL: NO
NVIDIA CUDA
Use CUFFT: YES
Use CUBLAS: NO
USE NVCUVID: NO
NVIDIA GPU arch: 20 21 30 35
NVIDIA PTX archs: 30
Use fast math: YES
Then I generate using Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64.
Next I open the newly generated OpenCV.sln project in Visual Studio 2013 and build the project. It completes without any errors, but 103 warnings like this:
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/LC:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v7.5/lib/x64'; ignored
OpenCV builds just fine and I can build programs with it. I can also include "opencv2/core/cuda.hpp" without any problem. However, when I try to use cuda::getDevice() i get this error:
OpenCV Error: No CUDA support (The library is compiled without CUDA support) in throw_no_cuda, file C:\builds\master_PackSlave-win64-vc12-shared\opencv\modules\core\include\opencv2/core/private.cuda.hpp, line 97
When I print the information from cv::getBuildInformation() i get:
Other third-party libraries:

It seems Cuda is disabled somewhere in the process, but I can't figure out why. I have tried to reconfigure and rebuild several times with the same results. Would love some help on this!
