Slackware64 15.0 ROCm OpenCL build scripts
by kingbeowulf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K2HN)
I took a few cracks at getting some ROCm OpenCL support ready for Slackbuils.org some time ago.

Unfortunately, some health issues forced a delay in working on this. The need for a useful AMD GPU OpenCL on top of the opensource AMDGPU driver continued to be evident in a number of posts on the interwebs. Sure, you can try to get AMDGPU-PRO to install, try deb2tgz, but a proper Slackware package set is needed.
Fortunately, another Slackware user was able to sort ROCm into a useful set of Slackware buildscripts:
https://github.com/414n/slackbuilds.org/blob/rocm-5.5.1
https://github.com/414n/slackbuilds....README_rocm.md
For those of us that need just OpenCL runtime and not the entire ROCm development and SDK stack, and where Mesa's OpenCL 1.1 won't work, I've sorted out the minimum set for OpenCL on Slackware64:

For the brave, the full set of packages will provide OpenCL 2 and HIP/HSA runtimes, and a full set of development libraries and headers.
