Chapter 3. Known Issues

Executable must exist in order to start debug session for the first time
Nsight will not automatically perform build when starting debug session for a given project for the
first time. Build must be invoked manually. Nsight will automatically rebuild executable when starting
subsequent debug sessions.

Note: To manually build the project, select it (or any file within the project) in a Project Explorer view
and click hammer icon on the main window toolbar.

Source editors may show error markers on a valid code for the files in newly created projects.
These markers will be cleared after Nsight indexes included header files.
Mac OS X users may be prompted to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) when running Nsight
Eclipse Edition for the first time.
Nsight Eclipse Plugin Edition requires functioning Java Runtime Environment to be present on the local
system to run.
Nsight Eclipse Plugin Edition does not provide compilation support for using the QNX qcc and q++
compilers.
The workaround to compile using qcc and q++ is
▶ Specify the q++ path in CCBIN field on toolkit configuration page on project properties dialog as
shown below. You can access toolkit configuration page by clicking main menu Project > Proper-
ties > C/C++ Build > CUDA Toolkit
