make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I followed the installation as described in "how to build the Python wheel file".

When I ran: "mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j", the following error came up:
"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

All the prior steps up to this point were completed.

1. git clone -b support_cuda11 --single-branch https://github.com/zeyiwen/thundergbm.git
2. cd thundergbm
   #under the directory of thundergbm
3. git submodule init cub && git submodule update

The installation guide is very cumbersome for laymen to comprehend. Is there an easier way to install thundergbm, like for example using pip? I have tried for two weeks now unsuccessfully.

Hi @DarkoAlexander, we have fixed the problems raised by the update of Thrust. We also build cuda 11 wheel file for linux users and you can download it from here. The windows' version of wheel file is coming soon.
Thank you.

There are already so many solutions for parallel computing on Linux, like the Rapids library, Cuml etc etc. If you are smart, you would develop a random forest algorithm for parallel computing on GPU for Windows. That is where the market has no solution so far. Linux is a saturated market. There are already a ton of solutions there.

You did not answer my question at all. You just made another statement that i dont understand. What is Thrust? Why do you just assume that I understand what that is? Just develop an easy solution to install random forest on GPU for windows, please. We want to be able to work in Windows environment, not Linux.
