instructions for compiling clpeak for Windows

[acollaborator]

In Windows, install Visual Studio (VS) 2022 Community Edition configured for Desktop C/C++ development. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

git clone http://github.com/krrishnarraj/clpeak

Download the current release of OpenCL headers and library from https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-SDK/releases

Do not use OCL_SDK_Light from https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/OCL-SDK/releases

Place the Khronos OpenCL-SDK in a file path of your choice.

Add Windows environment variables or add these variables to the CMakeSettings of a VS project's configuration.

Note that OpenCL_LIBRARY should be set to the fully qualified path of the OpenCL.lib file.

example of Windows environment variables:

OpenCL_INCLUDE_DIR C:/Users/your_user_name/some_path/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/include

OpenCL_LIBRARY C:/Users/your_user_name/some_path/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/lib/OpenCL.lib

example of CMakeSettings variables of a VS project configuration:

{ "name": "OpenCL_INCLUDE_DIR", "value": "C:/Users/your_user_name/some_path/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/include", "type": "PATH" }, { "name": "OpenCL_LIBRARY", "value": "C:/Users/your_user_name/some_path/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/OpenCL-SDK-v2023.02.06-Win-x64/lib/OpenCL.lib", "type": "FILEPATH" }

In Visual Studio, build a release of clpeak.
