I'd like to know whether it's possible to program for CUDA without installing VS2008.
At the moment I've got VS2010 installed on my primary development machine and I don't wanna mess things up installing VS2008. Furthermore, I would no use for it aside from CUDA.
I've been doing a few searches and it looks like it should be possible to circumvent this dependency installing a version of the Windows SDK, however the information was unclear and I'm usure about the version of the SDK I should install and of the efficacy of such workaround.
What would you suggest?
cuda still needs the vs2008 runtime so you have to have it installed. You can configure vs2010 to use that runtime (if you have vs2008 installed!) for a specific project.
