finding OpenCL version slack (current) is using... GPU / Blender no recognize GPU

Code:

cd $(dirname $0) ; CWD=$(pwd)

PKGNAM=opencl-headers
VERSION=${VERSION:-$(echo OpenCL-Headers-*.tar.?z* | rev | cut -f 3- -d . | cut -f 1 -d - | rev)}
PKGVER=${PKGVER:-2.2}
BUILD=${BUILD:-2}

blender says,

Code:

AMD OpenCL GPU rendering is supported on Windows and Linux, but not on macOS.

slack and MX linux sees a GPU but when I try to configure blender to use it, it shows there is no GPU for OpenCL

Code:

Slackware 14.2 x86_64 (post 14.2 -current)
Kernel 5.4.22
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
RAM 18956 MB : 4823 : 10539
Graphics Card [AMD/ATI] Raven Ridge [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c4)

and I'm still trying searching the net to see if a fix is out there.

The OpenCL headers are just vendor neutral development interfaces. They don't provide an actual OpenCL implementation. Slackware (-current) only ships with one implementation, the OpenCL driver for mesa.
You most likely need a specific driver for your GPU, like https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm

first glance

Code:

    RHEL v7.7 (Using devtoolset-7 runtime support)

    SLES 15 SP1

thanks for the lead.. head banging is not my good suit.

let me see what I can do with that.. try and stick that into a slackbuild before just installing it to see if it will work.

let me bounce into MX Linux first too see what it got, it is Debian knock off. (said with a russian accent)
