Error building on ROCm 4.0

[cagery]

Hi, while building the roctracer I am getting the error stating HCC support dropped. Is there a workaround or fix for this?

Steps to produce:
ROCm 4.0 + Docker image rocm/pytorch:rocm4.0_ubuntu18.04_py3.6_pytorch_1.7.0
Following the instructions, the error shows up at "make" state.

Error:

Thanks!

I just got the same error. It seems that adding

-DHIP_VDI=1

to cmake fixed it. Maybe.

I'm not sure why nobody answered this earlier. This would seem an easy catch. Is anyone monitoring these issues?

@cagery Apologies for the lack of response. Did adding "-DHIP_VDI=1" to cmake resolve your issue? If so, please close the ticket. Thanks!
