Fedora 41 build script for ROCM (AMD)

[M4TH1EU]

I had some trouble to compile the app for ROCM under Fedora 41 so I made a script with the things I found online to fix my issues. Might not be perfect but might work for you as well.

#!/bin/bash

# This script compiles whisper.cpp for ROCM under fedora (tested on 41), must have rocm* 
# packages installed along with hipblas and stuff...
# sudo dnf install 'rocm*' 'hipblast' 'hipblas-*' make gcc cmake

HIPCXX=$(hipconfig -l)/clang
HIP_PATH=$(hipconfig -p)
HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$(hipconfig -R)

# Ensure hipconfig is successful
if [[ -z "$HIP_PATH" ]]; then
  echo "Error: Unable to detect HIP_PATH. Ensure HIP is correctly installed."
  exit 1
fi

# Automatically detect AMDGPU_TARGETS
AMDGPU_TARGET=$(rocminfo | grep gfx | head -1 | awk '{print $2}')
if [[ -z "$AMDGPU_TARGET" ]]; then
  echo "Error: Unable to detect AMDGPU target using rocminfo."
  exit 1
fi

# Find HIP device library path
HIP_DEVICE_LIB_PATH=$(find "${HIP_PATH}" -name "oclc_abi_version_400.bc" -exec dirname {} \; | head -n 1)
if [[ -z "$HIP_DEVICE_LIB_PATH" ]]; then
  echo "Error: Unable to find oclc_abi_version_400.bc under HIP_PATH."
  exit 1
fi

# Export necessary paths
export HIPCXX
export HIP_PATH
export HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES
export HIP_DEVICE_LIB_PATH
export DEVICE_LIB_PATH=$HIP_DEVICE_LIB_PATH
export ROCM_PATH=/usr/

# Automatically detect clang and clang++ if installed

CLANG_CXX_COMPILER=$(which clang++)
