How to install ADL_SDK9.zip?

[acaciosc]

I'm trying to follow these instructions:

On Ubuntu
AMD

http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/display-library-adl-sdk/

download: ADL_SDK8.zip and AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh

./AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh
ln -s /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1 /opt/AMDAPP
ln -s /opt/AMDAPP/include/CL /usr/include
ln -s /opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/* /usr/lib/
ldconfig
reboot

apt-get install fglrx-updates
// wget, tar, opencl
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
sudo aticonfig --list-adapters
* 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon R9 200 Series

* - Default adapter

But it does not explain how to install ADL SDK. I wonder why the developers didn't explain this one. It seems as if they really enjoyed to make people upset.

Have you tried coming up with it youself.
such as:

Code:

./configue 
make 

OR what about:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ADL
sudo apt-get install SDK
sudo apt-get install ADLSDK

Or try googling it?
However, it may have already installed by the code taht you have previously run?

Yes.  "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"

OR what about:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ADL
sudo apt-get install SDK
sudo apt-get install ADLSDK

Yes. "E: Unable to locate package ADL"

Or try googling it?

Yes.  Something else? Or just trying to make me even more upset? It's funny... they are able to develop Ethereum, but apparently can't simply explain things correctly.

*BUMP!*

download: ADL_SDK8.zip and AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh

./AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh

 At which point the SDK is installed.

 You're trying to make it complicated, in this case it's actually VERY simple.


 *NOT* like installing the fglrx DRIVERS can be a PITA and a bit complicated, with all the dependencies and such....

Did you try these separately?

Code:

sudo apt-get install ADL

Code:

sudo apt-get install SDK

Code:

sudo apt-get install ADLSDK

That was the intention as to how they should be run.

The site seems badly sorted for information, I'd suggest finding a script in the folder you downloaded and trying to run that.
When finding an executable script:

Code:

ls -l

Search for something that should say at the start of the line

Code:

-X

It may be with an "R" and "W" and simply try running it by putting ./scriptname (replacing "scriptname" with the name of the script,
Try also to intall it from a GUI
OR
Try to find the release notes on the badly organised site, I think that is about half way down and is a button that says release notes. The GitHub repositary doesn't seem to have a "README" file.

I've read that this isn't necessary for mining, and even can cause problems.

[QuintLeo]

If you have to COMPILE the miner from source, in some cases you have to install the SDK.

 As a MINIMUM for every miner software I've seen under LINUX, you need some of the header files that are normally included in the SDK (but there are alternate sources for those header files in some cases).


 Installing the SDK should NEVER be a "negative" or "cause issues" with a miner program, unless it's enough to bump you free drive space into "too small" range - but if your drive it THAT marginal on space, you should be using a bigger drive anyway.

The thing I read said it could "muck up the library links."  Maybe they meant the process of installing it itself could cause problems.
