SofaCUDA (CUDA) for Visual Studio 2026

[fredroy]

Visual Studio 2026 is still not officially supported at this date (CUDA 13.1).

Here is the workaround to make SofaCUDA compiles with Cuda 13.1 (maybe other versions too) and Visual Studio 2026

Fix CMake detection (No CUDA toolset found)

Copy the contents of the directory
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v13.1\extras\visual_studio_integration\MSBuildExtensions
into
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v180\BuildCustomizations

(Here are the default install directories for both MSVC and CUDA, adapt to yours if it was customized)

Fix CMake error while trying to check nvcc compatibility

Add -allow-unsupported-compiler to the cmake variable CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS

I no longer have the problem with Cuda 13.3 and Visual Studio 18.7.1. However, I had a build error. See #6160
