[Bug 1129409] Re: Nvidia and AMD graphics drivers should indicate whether they provide libcuda.so.1, libOpenCL.so.1, etc.

[nukedathlonman]

I posted on bug # 1376587... I fixed a couple bugs regarding the AMD
Catalyst drivers...

Okay, so the replaces line needs to change to this:

Enhances: libopencl1
Replaces: fglrx-driver-core
Provides: fglrx-driver-core, opencl-icd, amd-opencl-icd

Fresh install, I had to get rid of libopencl1 in the repalces line as it causes a fight between packages..
I added the enhances line becasue, well, it enhances OpenCL with GPGPU support.

This allow's both the updates driver from the repo's  and the drivers
form AMD's website to install with wine gracefully.

Why the Enhances line - I noticed that OpenCL wasn't working on my
system.  SO a few more changes was in order:

In /usr/lib I create thed following symlink: libOpenCL.so and pointed it at libOpenCL.so.1
Then I created two more symlinks for completness: libOpenCL.so.1.1 and libOpenCL.so.1.2 and both of those pointed to libOpenCL.so (I did this incase AMD or someone decides that proviced libOpenCL.so.1 file name should be corrected to libOpenCL.so).

I then did the same in /usr/lib32

Then I went into /etc/OpenCL/venders and coped amdocl64.icd in the same dir but called it amdocl32.icd
I edited that file, and changed libamdocl64.so to libamdocl32.so

Next, in /etc/ld.so.conf.d I made a file called opencl-vender-amd.conf
and add the line: /etc/OpenCL/venders

I then ran ldconfig to finalise the settings.  Wine works fine as well
as GPGPU accelerated OpenCL (tested with BOINC).
