Unfortunately, this turned out to be more involved than I thought so I
went back to use the -DPACKAGE_VERSION flag. However, it seems to work
better when the flag is added later, that is, after the call to
find_package(CUDA). I couldn't really test this since my computer
doesn't have a NVIDIA GPU but at least I managed to get the nvcc
compiler running. It failed with a message complaining about that the
file gpu_util.h could not be found. I guess this file comes with the
NVIDIA drivers or something. Anyway, the DOLFIN development repository
is now updated with this fix.
