Arch Linux User Repository

I have created new packages for the ROCm technology preview release stream - currently ROCm 7.13.0. I assume with time they will be able (and forced) to replace the current opencl-amd-dev PKGBUILD.

• rocm-bin for Multi Arch
• rocm-gfx101x-bin for RDNA 1
• rocm-gfx103x-bin for RDNA 2
• rocm-gfx120x-bin for RDNA 4
• rocm-gfx110x-bin for RDNA 3
• rocm-gfx1150-bin for Ryzen AI - Strix Point
• rocm-gfx1151-bin for Ryzen AI Max -Strix Halo
• rocm-gfx1152-bin for Ryzen AI - Krackan Point

Latest release: 7.2.1. It uses 16.38GB of disk.

Issues with current release:

• libxml2-legacy is required by LLVM compiler.
• libamdpython.so is missing. Needs manual intervention for rocgdb to function.
• ROCm needs OpenCV libraries. Possible solution is install opencv then create symbolic links to the Arch Linux libraries.

I'm trying my solution manually and it is working to remove hip and miopen from pytorch requirements, but now it is asking for other packages

Transaction cancelled.

To remove those dependencies (that are already installed) I simply added this to opencl-amd PKGBUILD

provides=('opencl-driver' 'rocm-core' 'hip' 'hip-dev' 'hip-doc' 'hip-samples' 'hsakmt-roct-dev' 'hsa-rocr' 'hsa-rocr-dev' 'hsa-amd-aqlprofile-bin' 'rocminfo' 'hip-runtime-amd' 'rocm-device-libs' 'rocm-language-runtime' 'rocm-hip-runtime' 'rocm-ocl-icd' 'rocm-opencl' 'rocm-opencl-dev' 'rocm-opencl-runtime' 'rocm-clang-ocl' 'openmp-extras-runtime' 'rocm-cmake' 'rocm-utils' 'rocm-smi-lib' 'rocprofiler' 'roctracer')

voilà, no more required dependencies

pytorch is building now

Hey @BishopWolf, no, I didn't misunderstood, in fact after more thought I think it will be fine to add both hip and miopen to the packages. But it's not something that is urgent at the moment. I will add them on the next official ROCm release.

Hello @luciddream: I think you misunderstood, hip-runtime-amd already provides hip and miopen-hip already provides miopen. But in the system they are not declared explicitly. In the example, python-pytorch-opt-rocm is asking explicitly for a provider of both packages that are already installed in the system, but no provider has been declared. Hence, you need to modify the provides section here as

+ provides(...   'miopen-hip' *'miopen'* 'miopen-hip-dev' ...)

the same for opencl-amd

+ provides(...   'hip-dev' *'hip'* 'hip-doc' ...)

That's all

@BishopWolf thanks, your comment reminded me there is more to these packages than the Ubuntu Installer wants you to believe. I will have to keep a better eye on every release.

I think that the easiest way for now is for you (and everyone else that wants to install a software) to manually change the dependencies of the package you are trying to install, and build it without an AUR helper.

I will probably add hip and miopen in a future release but I don't see it as necessary or urgent. Currently opencl-amd and -dev only provide hip-runtime-amd and miopen-hip, so the package is fine as it is.

Hi, when installing packages they do something like this

Choose a provider for hip:
1:  hip-runtime-amd     5.3.3-1  AUR
2:  hip-runtime-nvidia  5.3.0-3  AUR

Enter a number (default=1): ^C  

Choose a provider for miopen:
1:  miopen-hip     5.3.0-1  AUR
2:  miopen-opencl  5.3.0-1  AUR

Enter a number (default=1): ^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 pamac build python-pytorch-opt-rocm

These two packages are included, but are not declared in the "provides" section. I think this will be the solution.

EDIT: You have to add "hip" to the provides section in "opencl-amd"; and "miopen" here

@BishopWolf sorry for late reply, I've been pretty busy as always in weekdays.

Both opencl-amd and opencl-amd-dev are part of the same Ubuntu package, the only reason I've separated them is so people can use opencl and rocm runtime without having to install 10+GB of files, and this strategy is working fine so far (I think). To be honest, opencl-amd-dev is a failed name for this package, it should be opencl-amd-sdk. So it has nothing to do with header files or binary files.

Roctracer if I'm not mistaken is being used by clinfo so it makes sense to include it in opencl-amd package. But that doesn't mean it should not work for people that have also installed opencl-amd-dev package. If you have trouble with compiling something that needs roctracer, please provide logs or the software you are trying to compile so I can check as well.

edit: More specifically, this is how the ROCtracer works so it makes sense to keep it with runtime libraries, and these are present inside opencl-amd

The only problem is I'm still on 16GB of RAM and I can't seem to decide on my next RAM upgrade yet. Every RAM kit I find is either too slow or too expensive. So I might not be able to compile everything yet.

Missing roctracer, we are closer to full functionality, thanks

Edit: in opencl-amd there is the roctracer-dev, but there are no binaries.

Seems odd that there is a rocm-dev section there. Have you considered putting all binaries there and all headers here?

@BishopWolf thanks for reporting. I just pushed an update that hopefully fixes this.

I also plan to automate a large part of this procedure so we don't have any more issues like this. Until then, patience :)

Missing hipsolver

ERROR: hipsolver version file not found in ['hipsolver/include/hipsolver-version.h', 'hipsolver/include/internal/hipsolver-version.h']

Although hipsolver is declared here, it is not installed anywhere

OK the error is gone now. Thanks so much for this package, it is a life saver
