[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#695112: amd-opencl-dev: should ship AMD headers with AMD extensions

[Brice Goglin]

Package: amd-opencl-dev
Version: 1:12-6+point-1
Severity: important

Hello,

amd-opencl-dev currently doesn't contain anything, it just
depends on the standard OpenCL headers.
Unfortunately, that means some AMD extensions are not available,
but they are supported by the amd-libopencl1 library built
from the very same source package.

Actually, the situation isn't perfectly clear to me:
* some extensions such as CL_DEVICE_PROFILING_TIMER_OFFSET_AMD
  are in the standard headers
* many others such as CL_DEVICE_TOPOLOGY_AMD are only
  in CL/cl_ext.h available in AMD-APP 2.7.

You could either install AMD's custom headers in a amd/
subdirectory or under a different name.

Note that I couldn't find cl_ext.h in the source of
amd-opencl-dev, so the solution may not be that easy.

thanks
Brice
