Hi all
Hi Sylvestre
I just uploaded a fixed version to mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/viennacl.
debian/rules now overrides dh_auto_test and first checks whether actual
OpenCL compute capability is available, otherwise it prints a fat
warning and skips the tests.
You can get the package using "dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/v/viennacl/viennacl_1.2.0-1.dsc";
Cheers
Michael
