Compilation errors of dcgm-exporter and go-dcgm

[zoobab]

I am trying to compile dcgm-exporter tool (git version 965b2de86d647d6c4c3a9ebe0d66e7ebf46045f5), which throws compilation errors of go-dcgm:

make: *** [Makefile:36: binary] Error 1

Any idea how do solve those issues?

@zoobab , Unfortunately, there is not enough information to tell what exactly is wrong. However, my best guess is that required header files (DCGM and NVML) are missing from your build environment. To build the dcgm exporter or go-dcgm, you need to have DCGM and CUDA libraries installed. Additionally, you can try using the devcontainer: https://github.com/NVIDIA/dcgm-exporter/tree/main/.devcontainer.
