Bug#1021275: hipcc cannot find ROCm device library and HIP runtime

[Witold Baryluk <witold.baryluk@gmail.com>]

Package: hipcc
Version: 5.0.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.baryluk@gmail.com

Thanks for packaging ROCm components. But it still looks is a bit off being fully usable out of the box.

I managed to compile it using

hipcc --rocm-path=/ --rocm-device-lib-path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/amdgcn/bitcode MatrixTranspose.cpp

but it took some time to figure out, and is not nice putting these paths
directly in makefiles, and such.

(Also resulting binary segfault:
Device name �C�xU
Segmentation fault
)

but that is another story.

Regards,
Witold
