[Issue]: Windows 5.7 SDK has broken CMake detection with hardcoded path and nonexistent amdhip64.dll

[GZGavinZhao]

Problem Description

The HIP 5.7 SDK for Windows cannot be used with CMake because it hardcodes some HIP import prefix as C:/constructicon/builds/gfx/two/23.30/drivers/compute/install/native/Release/x64/hip and tries to find a non-existent amdhip64.dll file in the SDK.

Operating System

Windows 11, will update exact version later, on linux right now

CPU

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics

GPU

AMD Radeon VII

ROCm Version

ROCm 5.7.0

ROCm Component

No response

Steps to Reproduce

Install the ROCm 5.7 SDK for Windows with default settings: https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/rocm-hub/hip-sdk.html. This example uses the "Windows 10 & 11" version, but the "Windows Server" version has the same problem. All commands are run in Powershell.

1. Write a simple CMake file. This examples uses the native CMake support, but using the legacy target_link_libraries(MyLib PRIVATE hip::device) gives the same result.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.21) # HIP language support requires 3.21
cmake_policy(VERSION 3.21.3...3.27)
project(MyProj LANGUAGES HIP)
add_executable(vectoradd_hip vectoradd_hip.cpp)
set_source_files_properties(vectoradd_hip.cpp PROPERTIES LANGUAGE HIP)

2. Create a file at vectoradd_hip.cpp. I just used https://github.com/ROCm/HIP-Examples/blob/master/vectorAdd/vectoradd_hip.cpp.
3. Run cmake -GNinja -B build -S . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/Program Files/AMD/ROCm/5.7. If CMake claims that it can't find a valid HIP compiler, run $env:Path = "C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\5.7;$env:Path" prior to executing CMake.
4. Now you should see an error message, claiming that the file C:/constructicon/builds/gfx/two/23.30/drivers/compute/install/native/Release/x64/hip/lib/amdhip64.lib is not found. This shouldn't happen.

error message

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/AMD/ROCm/5.7/lib/cmake/hip-lang/hip-lang-targets.cmake:82 (message):
  The imported target "hip-lang::amdhip64" references the file

     "C:/constructicon/builds/gfx/two/23.30/drivers/compute/install/native/Release/x64/hip/lib/amdhip64.lib"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "C:/Program Files/AMD/ROCm/5.7/lib/cmake/hip-lang/hip-lang-targets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

5. Now, (might need admin privileges), go edit C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm\5.7\lib\cmake\hip-lang\hip-lang-targets.cmake. You'll see that line 45 has set(_IMPORT_PREFIX "C:/constructicon/builds/gfx/two/23.30/drivers/compute/install/native/Release/x64/hip"). Replace that with set(_IMPORT_PREFIX "C:/Program Files/AMD/ROCm/5.7"), and run the CMake command in step 3 again.
6. Now you should get a different error, claiming that CMake fails to find amdhip64.dll, but that file is not present anywhere in C:/Program Files/AMD/ROCm/5.7:

try using find_package(hip) instead of setting the language to HIP

try using find_package(hip) instead of setting the language to HIP尝试使用 find_package(hip) 而不是将语言设置为 HIP

Is that a practiced method? I tried to follow the ROCm-examples building guide but also met the same problem, therefore I don't think find_package(hip) is an official practice. Did you try it?

When I would set my "LANGUAGE" to HIP in my CMake file, I would get the same/similar error. In my current project, I use

find_package(hip)
find_package(hipblas)
find_package(rocblas)

to make it build on Windows https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm/blob/4a3626eebf36565e93b3d5f79ebbcfdcbb815d97/CMakeLists.txt#L151C1-L153C26

It's also briefly mentioned in the ROCm Documentation here: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/conceptual/cmake-packages.html#consuming-the-hip-api-in-c-code

Hi @GZGavinZhao, it is recommended on Windows to use find_package(hip) rather than setting the language through project(MyProj LANGUAGES HIP), this should allow the build to complete successfully.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.21)
cmake_policy(VERSION 3.21.3...3.27)
project(MyProj)
find_package(hip)
add_executable(vectoradd_hip MyProj/vectoradd_hip.cpp)
set_source_files_properties(vectoradd_hip.cpp PROPERTIES LANGUAGE HIP)

The error referencing amdhip64.lib in hip-lang-targets.cmake will also be fixed in the next release for the HIP SDK.

[harkgill-amd]

Hi @GZGavinZhao, could you please try to use CMake with the latest HIP SDK 6.1.2.

You should no longer see any errors if using find_package(hip) as mentioned above. If everything is working, please close this ticket. Thanks!

[harkgill-amd]

Closing this issue. If you are still encountering issues with CMake on the 6.1.2 HIP SDK, please open a new ticket and we will investigate it further from there.
