OpenCL support on Leopard
- by koan
I want to use OpenCL in my software but I am running Leopard.
I will probably update to Snow Leopard later. In the mean time I would like to get started with OpenCL in Leopard. Setting up on 10.5 is confusing: most SDKs and articles assume that you must be using Snow Leopard. Searching for "Using OpenCL on Leopard" is completely useless, as you would expect.
I downloaded the cuda toolkit, devdriver and gpucomputing SDK from nvidia but the examples won't compile because OpenCL/opencl.h is not found. The OpenCL release notes don't mention MacOSX so again I think this is assuming that all Mac users are running Snow Leopard.
Where can I find OpenCL includes and libraries for Mac OSX 10.5 ?
Or, is this just a waste of time and I should go and get Snow Leopard ASAP ?
After upgrading to Snow Leopard I would like my software to support Leopard. Is this possible ?
