ROCM for debian and llvm-project/llvm does not exist

[ceewanna]

I have this problem towards the end of cargo xtask --release. ZLUDA/ext/llvm-project/llvm does not exist

It seems https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/ is catered for Ubuntu while mine is Debian. Anyone has work around for this please?

Did you clone with --recursive? If not, run

git submodule init
git submodule update

I guess I must have forgotten --recursive but when I redo it I had this error towards the end.

I received this error on Ubuntu recently as well, it can be fixed (at least on ubuntu) by editing the source list that apt uses to pull updates.

In my case I needed to edit: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list to change focal to jammy, followed by an apt update / apt upgrade.

You might be able to achieve similar success this way.

@oskrtg Thanks for your input. Mine is Debian 12. Not sure if making changes to the source will be possible or not.

I just realized that I don't have this "(Linux only) ROCm 5.7+ (not ROCm 6) (https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/deploy/linux/install_overview.html)." It's only for Ubuntu and a few others.

Initially I thought Debian's rocm packages would get through.

rocm-cmake/stable 5.4.0-1 all AMD ROCm cmake modules

rocm-device-libs/stable 5.2.3-2 amd64 AMD specific device-side language runtime libraries
