A while ago, I had started beating on the ROCm build system to try to get a "simple" set of packages for those of us that only need basic OpenCL runtime support on Slackware64. AMD's ROCm includes that but also includes various tools to build HIP and OpenCL GPU compute programs. My prior efforts were the legacy OpenCL binary Ubuntu packages which wasn't very stable due to being compiled on Ubuntu. I had to take a pause due to a few health issues and only recently started looking into this again.
