Build and Install From Release Source Tarball

The AOMP build and install from the release source tarball can be done manually. Building from source requires a number of platform dependencies.

Source Build Prerequisites

To build AOMP from source you must: 1. Install certain distribution packages, 2. Build CMake 3.25.2 from source, this can be done with build_prereq.sh 3. ensure the KFD kernel module is installed and operating, and 4. create the Unix video group. This link provides instructions to satisfy all the AOMP source build dependencies.

Build AOMP manually from release source tarball

To build and install aomp from the release source tarball run these commands:

   wget https://github.com/ROCm/aomp/releases/download/rel_23.0-0/aomp-23.0-0-source.tar.gz
   tar -xzf aomp-23.0-0-source.tar.gz
   cd aomp23.0
   nohup make &

Depending on your system, the last command could take a very long time. So it is recommended to use nohup and background the process. The simple Makefile that make will use runs build script "build_aomp.sh" and sets some flags to avoid git checks and applying ROCm patches. Here is that Makefile:

AOMP ?= /usr/local/aomp
AOMP_REPOS = $(shell pwd)
all:
        AOMP=$(AOMP) AOMP_REPOS=$(AOMP_REPOS) AOMP_CHECK_GIT_BRANCH=0 AOMP_APPLY_ROCM_PATCHES=0 $(AOMP_REPOS)/aomp/bin/build_aomp.sh

If you set the environment variable AOMP, the Makefile will install to that directory. Otherwise, the Makefile will install into /usr/local. So you must have authorization to write into /usr/local if you do not set the environment variable AOMP. Let's assume you set the environment variable AOMP to "$HOME/rocm/aomp" in .bash_profile. The build_aomp.sh script will install into$HOME/rocm/aomp_23.0-0 and create a symbolic link from $HOME/rocm/aomp to$HOME/rocm/aomp_23.0-0. This feature allows multiple versions of AOMP to be installed concurrently. To enable a backlevel version of AOMP, simply set AOMP to $HOME/rocm/aomp_22.0-2.
