How to obtain the OpenCL import library: 1. Copy OpenCL.dll from c:\windows\SysWOW64 into directory 2. Start a VC++ x64 command prompt in this directory 3. Extract exports from the dll: dumpbin /EXPORTS OpenCL.dll > OpenCL.exports 4. Edit OpenCl.exports: * add EXPORTS to top line * remove any headers, footers, numbers in front of function names using column editor like UltraEdit * when only the EXPORTS keyword and cl* function names remain, save the file as OpenCL.def 5. Call lib to get import library for VC++: lib /def:OpenCL.def /machine:x64 /out:OpenCL.lib To install: 6. Copy headers and libraries into an LSB-like directory structure, i.e. create /include /lib /lib/x86_64 and copy the "include/CL" folders of the Khronos header repositories into /include, and the OpenCL.lib into /lib/x86_64 7. Set OCL_ROOT to to make the CMAKE build file generator tool work
