Install the binaries

Experimental binaries are provided for Linux (64 bits), Windows (32/64 bits) and Mac OS X (64 bits). These should be installed manually, and except for OS X, require that an ICD (OpenCL.dll/libOpenCL.so) supporting OpenCL >= 2.0 is previously installed. Windows binaries include a number of third-party DLLs required to run the utilities (i.e. GLib and friends). On Linux, GLib should be installed via the package manager. On OS X, GLib should be installed using Homebrew or similar tool.

New There is a Homebrew formula formula for OS X. This is the recommended approach for installing cf4ocl on OS X. Acknowledgements to Jan-Gerd Tenberge for providing this formula.

In the future, we hope to provide complete binary packages or simpler installation methods than building or installing from source. More specifically, we're currently seeking help to:

  • Add cf4ocl to Debian, Fedora and other Linux distributions.
  • Provide complete Linux binaries in deb, rpm and other packaging formats.
  • Have a Homebrew formula for OS X. DONE
  • Provide a Windows installer containing the required dependencies.

At the moment, the CMake build process can produce Linux DEBs and RPMs, as well as Windows .EXE installers. However the created packages are not quite perfect, so they are not yet included in the releases.
