# OpenCL<sup>TM</sup> SDK (in development)

This is the Khronos OpenCL SDK. It brings together all the components needed to
develop OpenCL applications:

- OpenCL Headers (`external/OpenCL-Headers/`)
- OpenCL C++ bindings (`external/OpenCL-CLHPP/include`)
- OpenCL Loader (`external/OpenCL-ICD-Loader`)
- OpenCL utility library (`lib/include`)

It also contains resources useful to OpenCL developers:

- Code samples (`samples/`)
- Documentation (`docs/`)

## Build Instructions

### Dependencies

- This repository uses sub-modules for the OpenCL Headers, OpenCL C++ bindings, and OpenCL ICD Loader and some of their transitive dependencies.

  - To clone a new repository with all sub-modules included, use the `--recursive` option. Note that this option clones all sub-modules and their dependencies, which are not strictly required for the OpenCL SDK:

        git clone --recursive https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-SDK.git

  - Alternatively, to clone only the sub-modules for the OpenCL SDK, first clone this repository without sub-modules included then setup submodules non-recursively:

        git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-SDK.git
        git submodule init
        git submodule update

- The SDK uses CMake for its build system.
If CMake is not provided by your build system or OS package manager, please consult the [CMake website](https://cmake.org).

- The SDK samples depend on

  - [Templatized C++ Command Line Parser Library](http://tclap.sourceforge.net/) (aka. TCLAP)
  - [Simple and Fast Multimedia Library](https://www.sfml-dev.org/) (aka. SFML)
  - [OpenGL Mathematics](https://glm.g-truc.net/0.9.9/index.html) (aka. GLM)

### Example Build

In most cases, the following steps may be used to build the OpenCL SDK.

1. Clone this repo and update submodules:

        git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-SDK.git
        git submodule init
        git submodule update

2. Create a "build" directory:

        mkdir build
        cd build

3. Generate build files inside of the "build" directory:

        cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

4. Build the OpenCL SDK and copy files to an "install" directory:

        cmake --build . --target install --config Release

   Or, build the OpenCL SDK using the generated build files directly.

To customize a build, the following CMake variables are supported.
To specify one of these variables via the command line generator, use the CMake syntax `-D<variable>=<value>`.
See your CMake documentation for more details.

| Variable | Type | Description |
|:---------|:-----|:------------|
| CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE | STRING | Specifies the build type.  Does not affect multi-configuration generators, such as Visual Studio solution files.
| CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX | PATH | Install directory prefix.
| OPENCL_SDK_BUILD_UTILITY_LIBRARIES | BOOL | Enables building OpenCL SDK utility libraries.  Default: `TRUE`
| OPENCL_SDK_BUILD_SAMPLES | BOOL | Enables building OpenCL SDK samples.  Default: `TRUE`
| OPENCL_SDK_BUILD_OPENGL_SAMPLES | BOOL | Enables building OpenCL SDK samples that interoperate with OpenGL.  Default: `FALSE`
| OPENCL_SDK_BUILD_VULKAN_SAMPLES | BOOL | Enables building OpenCL SDK samples that interoperate with Vulkan.  Default: `FALSE`
| OPENCL_SDK_TEST_SAMPLES | BOOL | Enables a target to test the OpenCL SDK samples.  Default: `TRUE`
