How can I build libclBLAS.so for OSX? #57

Closed KCErb closed 9 years ago

KCErb commented 9 years ago

Hi again,

I'm new to the world of cmake and building source code so I'm looking for some help with basic information. If you'd prefer to refer me to materials that I should read I'd be happy to do so :)

Ultimately my goal is to write a Ruby FFI into clBLAS and to get started I just need a libclBLAS.so file (like the ones that are available for Linux and Windows on the releases page).

It seems at the moment that I'll need to make it myself and I'm not sure I'm even starting at the right place. I pointed cmake at the src/directory and, as described in the wiki, it generated a bunch of cmake files. But that's as far as I'm getting :blush:

Reading through the wiki page on this, it seems that I need to install a few dependencies before I can move on. Mostly they are for testing and unfortunately some of them (for example the AMD APP SDK) only have Windows/Linux releases.

How can I go about getting ahold of a clBLAS binary for Mac for use with Ruby's FFI library?

Just run make in the directory you ran cmake in.

Oh wow, thanks lots @abergeron! :heart:

Should I put up a PR with the build so that you guys can put these right alongside the Windows and Linux ones or are there deeper reasons that OSX users need to build there own?

HI @KCErb We are not in a position to say that we can support OSX releases at this time. However, I am pleased that users can download the code on their own and build it.
