nvcc fatal : Cannot find compiler 'cl.exe' in PATH although Visual Studio 12.0 is added to PATH
Solution 1
I had the same problem. I'm using 64 bit Windows 8.1 and I had to add the following to my path and now it works fine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe
Hope this helps
Solution 2
The Visual Studio 2017 has it here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.14.26428\bin\Hostx64\x64
Solution 3
You can add the argument -ccbin to set where cl.exe is. It will look like this
nvcc "File path" -ccbin "cl.exe path"

I have followed all the instructions from https://datanoord.com/2016/02/01/setup-a-deep-learning-environment-on-windows-theano-keras-with-gpu-enabled/ but can't seem to get it work.
I have added C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin to my PATH variable
Every time I run the code from the Theano website to test whether a CPU or GPU is used, it gives me a fatal error of "nvcc fatal : Cannot find compiler 'cl.exe' in PATH"
Here is the code I use to test:
from theano import function, config, shared, sandbox import theano.tensor as T import numpy import time vlen = 10 * 30 * 768 # 10 x #cores x # threads per core iters = 1000 rng = numpy.random.RandomState(22) x = shared(numpy.asarray(rng.rand(vlen), config.floatX)) f = function([], T.exp(x)) print(f.maker.fgraph.toposort()) t0 = time.time() for i in range(iters): r = f() t1 = time.time() print("Looping %d times took %f seconds" % (iters, t1 - t0)) print("Result is %s" % (r,)) if numpy.any([isinstance(x.op, T.Elemwise) for x in f.maker.fgraph.toposort()]): print('Used the cpu') else: print('Used the gpu')
How can I solve this?
