sph kernels break Legacy AMD driver compatibility #228

Open mrbrdo opened 10 years ago

mrbrdo commented 10 years ago

The SPH kernels (e.g. darkcoin/X11) do not compile on the legacy AMD driver (AMD Catalyst Legacy, on Linux). The 4.1 version of sgminer works on these drivers. Is this unavoidable, or can we fix it? Do we lose any performance if we make it work on legacy drivers?

IIRC one thing that is not supported is using static in CL code.

Ever since v5_0 exists this should be present. The issue was introduced after merge of sph-sgminer.
