MAGMA build for Hip without CUDA installed.

[Steve East]

Should I be able to compile MAGMA on a system with just Hip installed? This is MAGMA 2.6.1 not hipMAGMA. Whenever I try, the Makefile attempts to build interface_cuda and fails because of no cuda.h file. The interface_hip and magmablas_hip directories are being created and built correctly and BACKEND is set to hip.

Thanks,

Steve.

Yes, you should be able to build it.

There are 3 installation methods - using the makefiles, cmake, and spack.

Looks like you are trying through the makefiles.

In your make.inc you have to have 

BACKEND      = hip

You can copy one of the examples and modify it as needed, e.g., 

from the main magma directory you can copy one of the examples:

cp make.inc-examples/make.inc.hip-gcc-openblas make.inc

This example is using OpenBLAS on the CPU (MAGMA needs LAPACK for the CPU). 

There is also MKL example if you have MKL. After that you can follow the 

instructions in README.

Thanks,

Stan

I was having this same problem with the official release version, despite being able to compile from bitbucket without trouble.
The issue seems to be the presence of `Makefile.gen` in the release version. After removing it, I was able to compile successfully.

Austin,

Very good point. Thanks! We will remove the Makefile.gen from the tarball.
