Title: New OpenCL code stuck on "Compiling Sources"
Post by: tpe on May 27, 2017, 05:43:24 PM
System info:

Ubuntu 16.04.2
Geforce GTX 750 Ti (weak, I know...)
Nvidia driver 381.22

I'm running the latest git code (just did a pull using the prepare_for_dev_ubuntu.sh script to make sure I've got everything) and no matter what I try I can't get the current OpenCL code to work. I've compiled for CL, ticked the "GPU enable" box and I get nothing from any params I try. I realise it's in heavy dev and maaaaybe I'm being a little too eager and itching to get this working! I can get Luxmark to work on the 750 Ti so I either need to be more patient or I'm doing something wrong. 88)

What errors are you getting? Please paste console output.

As you wrote the code is in early stage of development.
prepare_for_dev_ubuntu.sh is not prepared yet for opencl code. You need to link opencl folder from your local git folder to /usr/share/mandelbulber2/opencl

Ahh thank you, I just linked to /usr/share/mandelbulber2/opencl as you said and the "fast" CL engine now works. Apologies for being trigger happy. ;) It's looking promising, keep up the good work!
