Pamgen,kokkos-kernels: NVCC build error with -D CMAKE_CXX_USE_RESPONSE_FILE_FOR_OBJECTS=ON

Created by: mhoemmen

kokkos-kernels requires -D CMAKE_CXX_USE_RESPONSE_FILE_FOR_OBJECTS=ON for CUDA builds, even with complex arithmetic disabled.

However, Pamgen does not build, given those settings.

Expectations

1. Whatever flags kokkos-kernels needs to build on CUDA, they need not to block building other essential packages.
2. kokkos-kernels needs to document its CMake requirements.
3. kokkos-kernels needs to fail at configure time, with an informative message, if the CMake variables that it needs are not set.

Current Behavior

$ make
[  0%] Linking CXX shared library libpamgen.so
nvcc fatal   : No input files specified; use option --help for more information
make[2]: *** [packages/pamgen/src/libpamgen.so.12.13] Error 1
make[1]: *** [packages/pamgen/src/CMakeFiles/pamgen.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Motivation and Context

Many downstream tests, including Belos and Ifpack2, depend on Pamgen. This blocks adequate Trilinos testing on CUDA.
