CUDA compilation fails with cmake error (windows+linux)

[kartonrad]

It says: does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

I realize that this isnt the most helpful issue, but unfortunately i have no idea how to use cmake.
C/C++ Tooling in general just remains a mystery for me :(

[kartonrad]

~Ah.... it builds succesfully from crates.io
I was trying to build master 🤦

[kartonrad]

master actually does seem to be broken rn though - but sinbe its not releasedits not an issue

[tazz4843]

Did you initialize the git submodules?

[kartonrad]

Yeah!
I actually did (after a previous error)

I used 'git submodule update --init --recursive'

[kartonrad]

I got the same error in wsl and in my host windows system

So it maybe has to do with the version of whisper.cpp being embedded

But since 0.11.1 works for me, i guess its not an issue per se
