Compile QtOpenCl.dll with Qt (64bit)

SGaist

Install the OpenCL drivers and SDK from your graphics card manufacturer. AFAIK, for e.g. Nvidia you can install the CUDA SDK and it should come with it

i have cuda installed... where to finde all needed files?

SGaist

I don't have a windows computer at hand but doing a search in the CUDA sdk folder should tell you where the OpenCL libs can be found

morflink

where to paste the opencl.lib and the opencl.h ?

SGaist

No need to past them anywhere, just put the right paths in your pro file

morflink

omfg, i just realized that i got a new graphics card...
its amd and i just can find so called amd_opencl32.dll or 64.dll in sum drivers folders...but nothing in the catalyst folders nor ATI Technologies folders.

SGaist

Did you install the AMD OpenCL SDK ?

morflink

well i did now.... can you tell me what to execute or how to link and which files need to be linked ?
omfg im such a noob :D

SGaist

Before that did you retry to build QtOpenCL from scratch ?

morflink

the failures above still come up, if thats what you ask for

morflink

mb i've got the wrong sdk.... named APP AMD SDK.
there is a so called OpenCLService.exe which i installed via prompt
OpenCLService.exe -i and run it via -s

SGaist

So, it is working now ?

morflink

no its not, still the same errors

SGaist

Do you have any OpenCL something lib file in the AMD sdk ?

morflink

nope
just kernels for examples and stuff

SGaist

Strange, did you do a global disk search ? Sometimes there are things are dispatched in both Program Files and Program Files (x86)

Just to be sure did you download "that":http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/opencl-tools-sdks/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/ sdk ?

morflink

yes, thats what i installed...
i did searched for opencl files... and as i posted before i just found strange files like AMD_opencl64.dl_
i always throught the only thing i need is the opencl.dll (no matter from which source) and compile it with the needed compiler, in my case the amdx64 compiler of msvs10.0

SGaist

no .lib or .a file ?

morflink

the only .lib or .a files are named glew32 and 64 or glut32 64.

SGaist

I wonder if the SDK has installed correctly
