How to compile a CUDA project with my own Makefile from inside Nsight?

Question

I have a CUDA project which contains .c and .cu files. The project also uses MKL. Currently I compile the project without problems using my own makefile from terminal. This makefile uses both the Intel C Compiler (icc 15.0.0) and CUDA 6.0 compiler (nvcc).

I would like to build the project from inside NSight but I cannot find the right way. I have tried to configure the build which is provided with NSight to use my onwn Makefile without success.

I have achieved to generate a project with a default build (make all) from inside NSight. However I do not know how to customize the default build to my own Makefile.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance

Nsight is based on CDT so this tutorial should work. If you have any CUDA C sources, use "CUDA C" project wizard and select CUDA Toolkit as a toolchain.
