Request for Environment Setup Guidance (CUDA, GCC, OS Compatibility)

[joker-li717]

Dear developers,

Thank you for your excellent work on gMicroMC V2.0. I am very interested in using this tool for my research, but I am currently encountering issues related to environment compatibility.

Could you kindly provide the recommended environment settings for compiling and running gMicroMC successfully? Specifically, I would like to know:

1. Supported CUDA versions (e.g., 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x?)
2. Recommended GCC version
3. Preferred operating system (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 / 24.04?)
4. Any specific dependencies or instructions for compilation
5. Known incompatibilities with newer CUDA versions (e.g., deprecation of texture API in CUDA 12.0)

---

I tried building the project with the following environment:

• Ubuntu: 24.04
• CUDA: 12.0
• GCC: 12.3

...but encountered errors such as:
error: texture is not a template
error: no instance of overloaded function "tex1Dfetch" matches the argument list
error: identifier "cudaBindTexture" is undefined

It seems these are related to deprecated texture APIs in CUDA 12. Could you please advise how best to proceed? Should I downgrade my CUDA version, or are there plans to support CUDA 12 in future?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards！
