I am running into a problem trying to use libtorch on my CUDA 8 based system.
It seems to stem from the fact that in the latest nightlies,  there is no libc10_cuda.so in the cuda 8 libtorch preview.  Only  libc10.so   Is this intended behavior going forward or is adding libc10_cuda support for CUDA 8 on “the roadmap” for pytorch?
I am trying to build a (really) simple C++ app that uses CUDA on the GPU.
I am using the CUDA 8 preview build of libtorch  (because there is no cuda 8 stable release of libtorch yet and I am using CUDA 8)
Here is the error / cmake spew that I am seeing with CUDA 8 and the cuda 8 libtorch (it happens for both release and debug builds):

The imported target “c10_cuda” references the file

but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:


The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.


An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.


The installation package was faulty and contained

but not all the files it references.

Unsurprisingly, I get a segfault if I try to link to the CUDA 9 based libtorch on my cuda 8 system (but hey, it was a worth a try)
