That sounds great, in particular since we are having a hard time with
organizing the build process.

No need for that - the few things that might be necessary to explain I
can explain when they come up. Please don't worry and spend your time
investigating how Debian packaging works.

Well, I list what roadblocks I have encountered:
* build order
it is not really clear in which order what should be build
I have done something like
rocm-cmake
roct-thunk-interface
rocr-runtime
rocm-llvm
rocm-devicelibs (using the rocm-llvm from above)
rocm-compilersupport (not sure whether that worked)
* llvm-*: there are many upstream repositories and it is not
clear which of those need to be used.
Furthermore, how far has the integration into llvm upstream proceeded.
* rocclr seems to need amd opencl, and opencl needs rocclr
at least the last time I checked there seem to have been some
circular dependencies
I guess some things have changed, the last version I played with were
the 3.9 releases.
I am happy to give the whole stack a try again with 4.1
Again, thanks a lot for joining and your offer, this is much
appreciated.
All the best
Norbert
