Hi @EternalSaga,
Thanks for the script. I tried to put your commands into a bash script like:

SCRIPT_DIR=$( cd -- "$( dirname -- "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" &> /dev/null && pwd )

#git clone https://github.com/FindDefinition/cumm.git $SCRIPT_DIR/cumm

export CUMM_CUDA_VERSION=11.4 # cuda version, required but only used for flag selection when build libspconv.
export CUMM_DISABLE_JIT=1
export SPCONV_DISABLE_JIT=1
export CUMM_INCLUDE_PATH=$SCRIPT_DIR/cumm/include # if you use cumm as a subdirectory, you need this to find cumm includes.
export CUMM_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="8.6" # cuda arch flags

pip3 install wheel pccm -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple
cd $SCRIPT_DIR/cumm && git checkout v0.3.7 && python3 setup.py bdist_wheel # cumm has already been installed

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}

cd $SCRIPT_DIR/spconv && python3 setup.py bdist_wheel && python3 -m spconv.gencode --include=./cpp/include --src=./cpp/src && \
    cd cpp/  && cd src && cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/builds/libspconv/spconv/cpp/include -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64/" . -B ../build && \
    cmake --build ../build --config Release -j 8

but got the following error about accessing the header files (though they do exist). Have you ever encountered such issues? I suppose there would be some additional settings in CMakeLists.

I found out that I forgot to prepare spconv/CMakeLists.txt. It works like a charm with this repo's example:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20)

project(spconv LANGUAGES CXX CUDA)
include_directories(/builds/libspconv/include)

add_subdirectory(src)
# tell parent spconv2 include path.
set(SPCONV2_INCLUDE_PATH /builds/libspconv/spconv/include PARENT_SCOPE)

install (TARGETS spconv
         ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib
         LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
         RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)

@barrydoooit
Thank you for your suggestion. I didn't notice that there is a CMakeLists.txt in this library. I use the cmake cli arguments ("-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/workspace/spconv/cpp/include -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64/") as a workaround. If you use my solution, please make sure you use the correct include directory path and the cuda library path.

A little bit improvements with barrydoooit's suggestion.
