GCC: Compiling an OpenCL host on Windows

I just wanted to try out using OpenCL under Windows.

Abstract: I got an "undefined reference to" error when I tried to compile (using the command gcc my.o -o my.exe -L "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\lib\x86_64" -l OpenCL).

My Code

#include <CL/cl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {   
    cl_platform_id platform;
    int err;

    err = clGetPlatformIDs(1, &platform, NULL);
    if(err < 0) {
        perror("There's No Platform!");
        exit(1);
    }

    /* Some more code... */

    system("PAUSE");
}

addition:
    gcc -c -I "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\include" my.c -o my.o
    gcc my.o -o my.exe -L "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\lib\x86_64" -l OpenCL

My questions are simple:

Thanks.

The 64 bit g++ compiler on windows 10 is also in the bin folder:

"C:\MinGW\bin\x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe"

So this works for me:

C:\MinGW\bin>x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ "C:\Users\...\main.cpp" -o
C:\Users\...\saxpy  -L "C:\Program Files\...\x64" -lOpenCL -I
"C:\...\OpenCL\sdk\include"

Notes:

  1. -o output name
  2. -L folder contains OpenCL.lib
  3. -I folder contains header file e.g. CL/cl.h

The default MinGW distribution only ships tools for building x86 applications. You cannot link against the x64 version of the OpenCL library. So you either have to use MinGW-w64 or use the x86 version (change the library path to the x86 subfolder of the APP SDK).

Try changing

-l OpenCL

to

-lOpenCL

in the compile line.

The -l option of gcc expects the name of the library (without the lib prefix) right next to it without any space. Remember using -lm in school to link to libm?
