I can't Compile simple OpenCL program.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm trying to compile this simple example
http://dhruba.name/2012/08/14/opencl-cookbook-listing-all-devices-and-their-critical-attributes/

in VS 2013.

Here what I've done so far
1) installed AMD APP SDK 3.0
2) manually copied all files from
C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP SDK\3.0\include\CL
to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\CL

and here where I stuck

I'm total noob here so please forgive me if I've forgotten about something simple and obvious for you ;)

LNK2019 usually indicates a missing library (.lib) with which the project needs to be linked. Maybe one of the OpenCL libs?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ok. I've also copied all files from C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP SDK\3.0\lib\x86
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib

and still the same error.

Google your specific error.

Just copying the libraries some place doesn't cause your project to link to them, you need to tell it specifically which libraries to pull in for linking.

Ok. Problem solved.
This helped me to correctly set-up VS for OpenCL

Bad idea! Don't mess up your compiler's include directory by "throwing in" foreign headers. Instead, just add "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP SDK\3.0\include" to the include path for the particular Projects that needs it ;)

In VisualStudio you can do this under the Project's settings via "C++" -> "General" -> "Additional Include Directories".

To make your Project file independent from a particular machine, I would even recommend to use an environment variable instead of a hard-coded path in there. You can use $(SOME_ENV_VAR) in your include path specification.

It's actually quite possible the AMD SDK already has created such an environment variable during installation...

Ok. I've also copied all files from C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP SDK\3.0\lib\x86
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib

Same as above. Don't mess up your compiler's lib directory. Just add an additional library search path to the project.

Do not worry Lord I've deleted all files which I copied manually :)
Everything is working fine now :)

Ps. Like I said I'm total noob in VS.

Heh-heh. I"ve been using VS ever there's been such a thing, and I'm still a noob. Seems that every time a new version comes out you've got to learn it all over again.
