Important stuff:

Hello users of Ubuntu. Recently I have decided to step into the Ethereum mining world and compile ethminer myself. After installing cuda however, I ran into a small problem. While doing sudo cmake --build . after cmake .. -DETHASHCUDA=ON -DETHASHCL=OFF, the console outputted this:

[  0%] Built target BuildInfo.h
[ 29%] Built target devcore
[ 41%] Built target ethash
[ 45%] Building NVCC (Device) object libethash-cuda/CMakeFiles/ethash-cuda.dir/ethash-cuda_generated_ethash_cuda_miner_kernel.cu.o

Additional info:

I installed CUDA using sudo apt install cuda. It installed nvidia-275 and cuda itself (along with a lot other stuff)

This solved my problem:

sudo rm /usr/local/cuda/bin/gcc
sudo rm /usr/local/cuda/bin/g++
sudo apt install gcc-5 g++-5
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-5 /usr/local/cuda/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-5 /usr/local/cuda/bin/g++
