### Zig Build for the OpenCL ICD Loader

This project builds the [OpenCL ICD](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-ICD-Loader) with the Zig Build System. The OpenCL ICD takes care of finding appropriate drivers across different hardware and operating systems.

Traditionally, you install the ICD on your system with `sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev` and use `$(CC) ... -lOpenCL` to build your program.

This is not desirable becuase the linking is dynamic against `libOpenCL.so`.

Static linking with zig provides better portability and reliability.

### Usage

Add the right release to your `build.zig.zon`

```

zig fetch --save https://github.com/e253/zig-ocl/archive/refs/tags/v3.0.16.tar.gz

```

and add the following to your `build.zig`

```zig

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {

    const ocl_icd = b.dependency("zig-ocl", .{

        .target = target,

        .optimize = optimize

    });

    your_compilation.linkLibrary(ocl_icd.artifact("opencl")); 

}

```

Also, see how `test.c` is built in the `build.zig` of this repository.
