I am totally not being able to set this up

[sm-ak-r33]

It creates xlstm cuda and then cd xLSTM does not work.

When I try to redirect it using
PS C:\Users\b-skarim\Desktop\repos_xlstm\xlstm-cuda> cd python\xlstm
PS C:\Users\b-skarim\Desktop\repos_xlstm\xlstm-cuda\python\xlstm> mkdir build it does work but then it misses out the cmake file,

when I redirect it to the cmakelist file again, then I have the following issue

CMake Warning:
Ignoring extra path from command line:

".."

CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Users/b-skarim/Desktop/repos_xlstm/xlstm-cuda/python/xlstm" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
PS C:\Users\b-skarim\Desktop\repos_xlstm\xlstm-cuda\python\xlstm\build> cmake ..

Potential solution

The primary issue causing the user's setup problems is the empty CMakeLists.txt file in the python/xlstm directory. This file is crucial for configuring the build process using CMake. Additionally, the README.md file lacks detailed instructions for setting up the project, which leads to confusion during the setup process.

To resolve these issues, we need to:

1. Populate the CMakeLists.txt file with the necessary configuration.
2. Update the README.md file to provide clear and detailed setup instructions.

What is causing this bug?

The bug is caused by an empty CMakeLists.txt file, which results in CMake errors related to missing configurations and compilers. Additionally, the README.md file does not provide sufficient instructions for navigating directories and running CMake commands, leading to user confusion and setup failures.

Code

CMakeLists.txt

Here is a basic template for the CMakeLists.txt file to get started:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

# Set the project name
project(xLSTM)

# Specify the C++ standard
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)

# Add source files
set(SOURCE_FILES
    src/main.cpp
    src/other_source_file.cpp
    # Add other source files here
)

# Include directories
include_directories(include)

# Add the executable
add_executable(xLSTM ${SOURCE_FILES})

# Find required packages
find_package(CUDA REQUIRED)

# Link libraries
target_link_libraries(xLSTM ${CUDA_LIBRARIES})

README.md

Here is an updated version of the relevant sections of the README.md file with more detailed setup instructions:

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:

    ```shell
    git clone https://github.com/smvorwerk/xlstm-cuda.git
    cd xlstm-cuda
    ```

2. Navigate to the `python/xlstm` directory:

    ```shell
    cd python/xlstm
    ```

3. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

    ```shell
    mkdir build
    cd build
    ```

4. Run CMake to configure the project:

    ```shell
    cmake ..
    ```

    **Note**: If you encounter errors related to missing compilers, ensure that you have a C++14 compiler and the CUDA toolkit installed. You can specify the compilers explicitly by setting the `CMAKE_C_COMPILER` and `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER` variables:

    ```shell
    cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ ..
    ```

5. Build the project:

    ```shell
    make
    ```

6. Install the Python package:

    ```shell
    cd ../../..
    cd python
    python setup.py install
    ```

## Troubleshooting

- **CMake Errors**: If you encounter errors during the CMake configuration, ensure that you have the required version of CMake (3.8 or higher) and that your environment variables are set correctly.
- **Compiler Errors**: Ensure that you have a C++14 compatible compiler installed. You can check your compiler version with `gcc --version` or `g++ --version`.
- **CUDA Toolkit**: Ensure that the CUDA toolkit is installed and that the `nvcc` compiler is available in your PATH. You can check this with `nvcc --version`.

How to replicate the bug

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/smvorwerk/xlstm-cuda.git
   cd xlstm-cuda

2. Navigate to the python/xlstm directory:

   cd python/xlstm

3. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir build
   cd build

4. Run CMake to configure the project:

   cmake ..

You will encounter errors related to missing configurations and compilers because the CMakeLists.txt file is empty.

Conclusion

The empty CMakeLists.txt file is the root cause of the build issues described in the user's ticket. By populating this file with the appropriate configuration and updating the README.md file with detailed setup instructions, the build process can be correctly set up, resolving the errors related to missing compilers and configurations.

Overview

The CMakeLists.txt file in the python/xlstm directory is currently empty. This file is crucial for configuring the build process using CMake, which is a cross-platform build system. The absence of content in this file is likely the primary cause of the issues described in the user's ticket.

Identified Issues

1. Empty CMakeLists.txt File: The file is completely empty, which means there are no instructions for CMake to follow. This is why the user is encountering errors related to missing configurations and compilers.
2. CMake Errors: The errors reported by the user (CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, etc.) are indicative of a missing or incomplete CMake configuration.

Recommendations

To resolve the issues, the CMakeLists.txt file needs to be populated with the necessary configuration. Below is a basic template that can be used to get started:

Sample CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

# Set the project name
project(xLSTM)

# Specify the C++ standard
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)

# Add source files
set(SOURCE_FILES
    src/main.cpp
    src/other_source_file.cpp
    # Add other source files here
)

# Include directories
include_directories(include)

# Add the executable
add_executable(xLSTM ${SOURCE_FILES})

# Find required packages
find_package(CUDA REQUIRED)

# Link libraries
target_link_libraries(xLSTM ${CUDA_LIBRARIES})

Steps to Implement

1. Create Source and Include Directories: Ensure that the src and include directories exist and contain the necessary source and header files.
2. Update Source Files List: Modify the SOURCE_FILES variable to include all the relevant source files for the project.
3. Include Directories: Ensure that the include_directories command points to the correct directories containing header files.
4. Link Libraries: Adjust the target_link_libraries command to link any additional libraries required by the project.

Conclusion

The empty CMakeLists.txt file is the root cause of the build issues described in the user's ticket. By populating this file with the appropriate configuration, the build process can be correctly set up, resolving the errors related to missing compilers and configurations.

I've used nvidia/cuda:12.2.2-devel-ubuntu22.04 docker image.
It didn't build.
Then I've compiled from source C++14 and that made the installation fail as nvcc works with C++12 and below
I have little experience with cmake and all this c stuff but your README is definitely not enough.
Please include a Dockerfile at least or push a docker image at best
