This repository hosts a collection of Arch Linux PKGBUILDs for the AMD ROCm Platform. These scripts implement a great portion of the stack, ranging from low-level interfaces, over compilers to high-level application librariers.
The Arch Linux packages for ROCm are available on the AUR.
Since many packages will be installed, it is recommended to use an AUR helper
like yay.
It is also recommended to use the arch4edu binary repository as it will
greatly speed up your installation time.
For directions see Add arch4edu to your Archlinux.
To install ROCm, use
yay -S rocm-hip-sdk rocm-opencl-sdkwhich includes the low-level components and compilers, utilities like rocminfo and GPU-accelerated math libraries. See the documentation for an overview on the available meta packages.
WARNING It is strongly recommended to remove all ROCm components when updating to a new release. Otherwise, building the packages with
yaymay have unwanted side effects resulting in build errors. If it's a small release with only a few updated packages, consider building them in a clean chroot.One way to mitigate these issues is to use the binary versions of the packages provided by arch4edu.
You can also install specific ROCm packages like so:
yay -S rocminfoFor additional installation configuration, such as adding a user to the video
group, we refer to AMD's installation guide.
To uninstall, use the following command:
yay -R rocm-hip-sdk rocm-opencl-sdkFor more helpful tips see the ArchWiki entry on ROCm, here.
Your contribution is always welcome. Use the issue tracker to report problems with the AUR packages.
Optimally, you open a pull request that solves your problem.
For most packages, you have to update pkgver and sha256sums. Before you commit your changes you will need to generate .SRCINFO from the updated PKGBUILD:
makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFOand add it to your commit.
As we want to bring ROCm into community we would greatly appreciate if you test that the package builds in a clean chroot.
