Description
Hi, I downloaded this repository and try to build it on my Windows 11.
Here is the output of nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2025 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Fri_Feb_21_20:42:46_Pacific_Standard_Time_2025
Cuda compilation tools, release 12.8, V12.8.93
Build cuda_12.8.r12.8/compiler.35583870_0
When I try to build using cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64, I got this error:
-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.22621.0 to target Windows 10.0.22631.
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.29/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:563 (message):
No CUDA toolset found.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.29/Modules/CMakeDetermineCUDACompiler.cmake:131 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID)
CMakeLists.txt:5 (project)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I think the cuda is installed correctly, and I have no idea what cause this error. Any advice?

Research direction
Start by reproducing cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 on Windows 11 with the reported CUDA 12.8 and inspect CMakeLists.txt. Trace CMake's CUDA compiler and Visual Studio toolset detection around the reported error; done means identifying a reproducible cause and confirming that configuration completes.
