What steps are needed to get a simple OpenCL enabled program to compile and run using emacs? We’re developing with the C++ bindings right now and I have never used emacs but my teammate is very fond of it.

I just need to know how to set up the linker with ATI Stream SDK and basic OpenCL C++ bindings. The actual coding is not the problem.

    OpenCL doesn’t change anything about the C/C++ project, you can use any build system you would otherwise use (vanilla Makefiles, autotools, cmake, etc).

    For .cl files I have this in my .emacs:


    (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\.cl$" . c-mode) auto-mode-alist))

    …which forces Emacs to treat them as C files.

    I just need to know how to set up the linker with ATI Stream SDK and basic OpenCL C++ bindings.

    You need to #include <CL/cl.hpp> and to pass -lOpenCL to the linker, that’s all.
