CMAKE_CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY
--------------------------

Select the CUDA runtime library for use by compilers targeting the MSVC ABI.
This variable is used to initialize the :prop_tgt:`CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`
property on all targets as they are created.

The allowed case insensitive values are:

.. include:: ../prop_tgt/CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY-VALUES.txt

Contents of ``CMAKE_CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`` may use
:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.

If this variable is not set then the :prop_tgt:`CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target
property will not be set automatically.  If that property is not set then
CMake uses the default value ``Static`` to select the CUDA runtime library.

.. note::

  This property has effect only when the ``CUDA`` language is enabled. To
  control the CUDA runtime linking when only using the CUDA SDK with the
  ``C`` or ``C++`` language we recommend using the :module:`FindCUDAToolkit`
  module.
