Cannot build OpenCL program on Windows-Collection of common programming errors
I have written a simple “do-nothing” OpenCL application (in C++ but using the C API) on Linux to get some data about OpenCL speed. It compiles fine and runs without error. I don’t have a graphics card that supports OpenCL, but I need to test it on a GPU. I’m trying to build the application on my friend’s Windows 7 64bit computer using the OpenCL implementation provided with NVIDIA’S CUDA Toolkit.
When I try to link to the OpenCL.lib file in CUDA\x64 I get undefined references for each OpenCL call within the program (using the standard C API). The same thing happens when I link to the OpenCL.dll in the system32 directory. If I link to the win32 library that came with the CUDA Toolkit, I don’t get errors, but OpenCL cannot acquire a platform. All the undefined references I get when linking have an @20 or @46 or some random number on the end of the symbol name. I’m not familiar enough with Windows development to know how to fix this problem. What could be my problem?
I apoligize for any newbie-ness. Thanks for any answers!
