Package: libamdhip64-dev
Version: 5.2.3-8
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: c...@slerp.xyz
Dear Maintainer,
The libamdhip64-dev package requires hipcc in order for
find_package(hip) to succeed. This is because within hip-config.cmake,
the variable hip_HIPCC_EXECUTABLE is set with the path to hipcc and
the existence is checked.
That seems overly restrictive to me. Programs written in C or C++ can
use the HIP API and prebuilt GPU libraries to do useful GPU calculations
without ever needing to use hipcc (and the entire clang toolchain that
comes along with it).
What was done:
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install build-essential cmake libamdhip64-dev
cat << 'EOF' > main.cpp
#include <hip/hip_runtime_api.h>
int main() {
return 0;
}

This problem can be worked around by installing hipcc, but IMO this
should work even if hipcc is not installed.
