    Default Cannot make OpenCL work with Qt Creator

    I am trying to run the "Valar" benchmark applications on my system through Qt Creator and am getting errors when I build the code:

    https://github.com/Frinhard/valar-bench

    I typed the command
    Qt Code:
    1. autoreconf -ivf
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and got the following output:

    Qt Code:
    1. autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
    2. autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
    3. autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
    4. aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
    5. autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    All my errors were connected to the file m4 so I created an empty directory and named it m4. After that I was able to run the command
    Qt Code:
    1. autoreconf --install
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and I no longer kept getting the same error. Moreover, Makefile.in was also generated along with many other files.

    The image shows the state of the directory after I ran
    Qt Code:
    1. autoreconf --install
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    :

    I ran the command
    Qt Code:
    1. qmake --project
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    on the command line and the
    Qt Code:
    1. .pro
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    file was generated.

    I opened the newly generated .pro file in Qt Creator and linked the OpenCL libraries in addition to the other OpenCL files in the "bin" directory.

    This picture indicates the errors I have been getting:

    The following is the information I have regarding the qmake I am using:

    Qt Code:
    1. Qmake version: 1.07a (Qt 3.3.8b)
    2. Qmake is free software from Trolltech ASA.
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Please help me in building and building my OpenCL applications successfully. Please point out to me what exactly I am doing/have done wrong.

    Default Re: Cannot make OpenCL work with Qt Creator

    Your screenshots are illegible and probably don't show anything useful anyway. If you get error listings, post the listing, not a screenshot of a listing.

    First, update to a current version of Qt. Qt 3.3 is probably 10 years or more old. Also ensure you have up to date compilers that support OpenCL.

    Then, instead of trying to integrate a complex project that requires autoreconf and a dozen other steps, find a simple OpenCL example that uses nothing except a few source code files and the OpenCL framework. Get that working and remember what you did. Then maybe you can integrate a more complex project.

    There are probably a dozen places where something could have gone wrong. Start with a simple example, get it working, and bootstrap your way up.

    Thank you d_stranz for your reply.

    I have included the errors I got when I tried to compile the project.

    EDIT:

    I cannot edit my first post so I am including the errors I got here. Since the images I posted weren't readable, I'll post the links to the images here:

    My files after I ran autoreconf:

    I got many other errors but I have not included them because I will be exceeding the word limit of my message. Qt is essentially not recognizing the OpenCL library.
    Please let me know if my new post provides helpful information about my problem.
