Cannot load a sample CUDA project: link: unknown option -- L

Completed

Hello,

I've created a sample CUDA project in CLion, but it fails to link. I have Windows Kits and CUDA SDK installed.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have a fresh installation of CLion Trial version and just wanted to make a new CUDA project.

I'm pretty sure that 

C:\PROGRA~1\Git\usr\bin\link.exe

is not what should be called here. I've ran "where link" in cmd and got this:

C:\Users\Jacek>where link
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\link.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.26.28801\bin\Hostx86\x64\link.exe

Anyway, all I did is I created a new empty CUDA project.

I've resolved the above error by removing Git from PATH environment variable. Now I got another error:

I've resolved the above error by changing toolchain to Visual Studio AND setting target architecture from auto detected to amd64
