I keep trying to work on this patch but it fails upon verify. I've downloaded the driver from ati but it won't pass the ebuild.

I managed to get the amdgpu-pro-opencl-18.50 ebuild installed with some help from repoman but the end result using this ebuild package version was consistent segfaults from two different versions of ethminer and xmr-stak when either gpu compute app attempted to compile the cl compute cache.

[2019-01-14 18:51:59] : Mining coin: cryptonight_heavy
[2019-01-14 18:51:59] : Compiling code and initializing GPUs. This will take a while...
xmr-stak.sh: line 1:  4842 Segmentation fault      (core dumped)

compute system has four amd RX series gpu's.

The amdgpu-pro-opencl-18.20.x build with xmr-stak has been computing invalid results for some time with cryptonight_heavy algo but this amdgpu-pro-opencl 18.50 build just flat out refuses to function.

Did you manage to get everything working? It would be nice to get the newest version of amdgpu-pro-opencl into portage.
I think the name of the ebuild link is wrong though, it says 17.50.
Comment 8 Mark Zalavari 2019-04-16 11:32:10 UTC
Hi!

Are there any update on this project?

It seems older linux-firmware versions were dropped from the portage, so the 18.50 would be the only officially compatible amdgpu-pro version now.

I've installed this ebuild by hand, and I've got segmentation faults too.
I solved some of them by installing libdrm, but still have some. (For example clinfo is not working for me yet)

I guess this is the reason the work halted on this ebuild. Am I correct?

(sorry for my english)

    dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl: bump to 19.10.785425
    
    The customised libdrm, which was not necessary with 18.20, is back.
    Everything seems to work fine on my system, LuxMark consistently
    benchmarks 5-10 percent slower than with 18.20 though.
