I noted that since CMake 3.21, `hip` is a supported language in CMake. But I don’t seem to get it to work right when build bynaries (either executables or libraries) on **NVIDIA platforms**.

Perphasp, I’m not using the new CMake capabilities of `hip` language correctly 🤔

Is there anyone experienced that can give me a hint with this [sample project](https://www.reddit.com/r/cmake/comments/12iknc9/building_crossplataform_libraries_with_hip_in_c/)?

Hi to all,

After scratching my head with this problem for the last two weeks. I managed to archive a simple working solution 😄

In [this example](https://github.com/wme7/devLibrary), I demonstrate my work around. I was not able to enable HIP as a language, but using a traditional approach, I was able to build truly cross-platform sample library, in either **NVIDIA** and **AMD** platforms with CMake \> 3.16 in a unified manner.

Nevertheless, I would appreciate any feedback/critic on this approach 🤔

best regards,  
Manuel
