Release in the downloads section is old and no guide on how to compile on Mac #156

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

The releases in the download's section is old. No updates since Jan 2013. 
However, the code has been updated. It would be great if the download section 
was updated to reflect code changes after Jan 2013.

Some of those changes might not be thoroughly tested yet, so perhaps releasing 
a stable version and a beta version.

Also, there is no guide on how to compile for Mac. The AMD APP SDK only 
supports Windows and Linux. But a MacOSX distribution does exist in the 
download section. It would be nice to know how it was compiled/built so that 
others can do it too.

I just synced with the latest code and built on my Mac using the existing Ant 
files. 

Mac is a bit weird because you need to make sure you have the gcc tools 
installed.  Depending on your OS/XCode  version you either do this form the 
command line or from a menu in XCode.

Also you might need to hack the build.xml file a little to point to your OpenCL 
headers and your JDK. 

My JAVA_HOME is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_12.jdk/Contents/Home

One reason there are no updates in the downloads area is because google code no 
longer allows one to upload binaries.  This is one of the reasons Ryan moved us 
across to github.
