SO close. Help with getting OpenCL recognized and GPU mining enabled on CGMiner.

[skeeterskeeter]

Well all. I have been many gpu's and setup in the last few weeks through various forums and I finally have gotten all my hardware recognized on ubuntu.

I have x4 5830's on a Evga board and intel chipset

I have mined with all of the four board I have but never have been able to do it all at once. This is the closest I've been   

Code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgminer 2.11.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Configuration Options Summary:

  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED
configure: error: No mining configured in
xxxxxx@xxxxx-PC:~/cgminer-master$ 

What are my options, I am not sure where or how to find OpenCL. I searched found their site, but no downloads?

Any help guise?!



    

Code:

lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cypress LE [Radeon HD 5800 Series]
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cypress LE [Radeon HD 5800 Series]

What driver are you using?

[skeeterskeeter]

What driver are you using?

CatalystControlCenter 13.1 ?

Sorry. I should've included this. Ubuntu 12.10.

That's what I thought. From what I can see, you don't have OpenCL installed. You need the correct SDK. I am no expert on Ubuntu so I will have to defer to someone with more knowledge. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

python-pyopencl :Depends: opencl-icd but it is not installable ?

As for the forum link. I am pretty sure I already have the APP SDK. Is there a way to make sure?

Because I think I have it that is why I tried to install "python-pyopencl".

13.1 (and 13.2 beta 1-7) is a hassle. Clean install Windows 8 x64 and 13.1 will not work. There will be a mismatch between the AMD.APP\bin\x86\opencl.dll and the syswow64\opencl.dll. Cgminer will crash, unless you have precompiled kernels (*.bin) files that are compatible in the folder. By copying the AMD.APP dll's (amdocl64.dll/amdocl.dll and opencl.dll) to system32 and syswow64 it will work. Remember to take ownership of the file, then change the filerights (as Windows protects those files by default).

This may well be the case for you Ubuntu install.

Details here: http://devgurus.amd.com/thread/160032
Looks like there is something new in the CL library that requires rewriting/recompilation of software with the new drivers/app sdk.

I myself just did a clean reinstall and installed 12.8 upon install to overcome this problem.

Is there anyway to check to see if I have OpenCL and its version?

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu too. So you think I should find a older version and not use 13.1?


I must've read 100 walkthroughs by now and none of them get me any closer. I'm lost.

EDIT: From the CGMiner readme it looks like CGminer cannot find my OpenCL libraries

If it finds the opencl files it will inform you with
"OpenCL: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled."

So. How can I get my OpenCL libraries to where they need to go?

AMD are awesome at breaking stuff. Manually download the AMD APP version 2.7 and install it and try again. You will need to log in/out or even reboot for the modified paths to work.

[skeeterskeeter]

Ok, well I am almost 99% sure I have OpenCL now. Ran the commands below and all worked beautifully. (Via your README ckolivas)

Code:

 cd AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/
 cp -pv lib/x86_64/* /usr/lib/
 rsync -avl include/CL/ /usr/include/CL/

 tar -xvzf icd-registration.tgz
 rsync -avl etc/OpenCL/ /etc/OpenCL/
 ldconfig
 sync

 shutdown -r now

I see next to do this

Code:

If you are on 32 bit, x86_64 in the 2nd last line should be x86

To actually build:

./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
or if you haven't installed the ati files in system locations:
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I<path to AMD APP include>" LDFLAGS="-L<path to AMD APP lib/x86_64> ./configure
make

If it finds the opencl files it will inform you with
"OpenCL: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled."

Does that mean run this

Code:

./autogen.sh CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure

or this

Code:

./autogen.sh

?

Because I am doing the second, and getting this in return

Code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgminer 2.11.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Configuration Options Summary:

  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED
configure: error: No mining configured in

So might I try the later?

EDIT:

Hmm so maybe I don't?

Code:

*snip
checking for alloca... yes
checking for OpenCL... no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
*snip

EDIT2: ?

Code:

kevin@Kevins-PC:/etc$ cd OpenCL
kevin@Kevins-PC:/etc/OpenCL$ ls
vendors
kevin@Kevins-PC:/etc/OpenCL$ cd vendors
kevin@Kevins-PC:/etc/OpenCL/vendors$ ls
amdocl32.icd  amdocl64.icd
kevin@Kevins-PC:/etc/OpenCL/vendors$

I created an easy to follow Walk Threw for installing cgminer with OpenCL for AMD/ATI video cards on Ubuntu.

Hope it helps.

Ran into the same problem compiling from source on (L)ubuntu 13.04. Really, Really easy fix. After searching the repository I found an OpenCL package specifically for developers. The following line did the trick!

Code:

 sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev 

hope this helps someone.

Months looking for the correct answer. Up until your post I had to stick with older versions of cgminer, as I couldn't compile new ones.
Thanks a lot, mate!

Finally found it. Thanks

Someone needs to make alarms bell ring when they log on to teh Internets so that they git directed right here.  Genius I say.  Nice work.
