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

Select the CUDA runtime library for use when compiling and linking CUDA.
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 an appropriate default value based on the compiler 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.
