Cl/cl.h not found in Visual Studio Code 2019 AMD GPU Win10

I wanted to get started in GPU programming and since I have an AMD GPU I would like to start with OpenCL.

I have installed on my Windows 10 machine Visual Studio Code 2019 editor and I've also installed OCL-SDK. I tried to put those variables inside the settings of VC2019 but nothing happened.

Can somebody help troubleshooting this problem? How did you manage to install OpenCL?

When compiling your code, you need to tell the linker where the OpenCL headers and lib file are located. I usually put the headers and lib file inside the project directory:

g++ *.cpp -o Test.exe -I./OpenCL/include -L./OpenCL/lib -lOpenCL

But you can also make the -Ipath/to/OpenCL/include -Lpath/to/OpenCL/lib paths point to the OCL-SDK directory.

For how to setup OpenCL with VS Community, see here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57017982/9178992

For an easy start with OpenCL, I created a wrapper that vastly simplifies the OpenCL C++ bindings and eliminates the entire code overhead that comes with it. This includes the OpenCL headers and all Visual Studio Community project settings; no additional setup required: https://github.com/ProjectPhysX/OpenCL-Wrapper
