Installing ATI APP SDK, Cal++ and Pyrit on Backtrack 5

[X-MaaN]

Please help me. I want to install ATI APP SDK, Cal++ and Pyrit on Backtrack 5 in my Linux operating system. Actually I am new to it so thought of asking you experts so that I don’t land with troubleshoot. Please give me the steps for the same. Is it ok for my system If I install them. All your replies will be appreciated.

I am sure it installing them won’t affect your system. You can install them in you Linux operating system and enjoy their use. I can only help you with the ATI driver since I am familiar to it. Just do as I say:

Open the console and first prepare Kernel sources in the same by using the below code:

prepare-kernel-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/

After that install the ATI driver by running the following code:
sh ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run

Then restart your computer.

To install the AMD- APP SDK follow as I recommend. Before installing download AMD- APP SDK from official website. Then perform Installing amd-app (SDK) by clicking on the amd-app_2.4_amd64.deb file and then click install. Also note that the amd app sdk installs with opencl support only. After that download AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz with CAL++ Libraries and then type:

tar -xvzf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz

Then go into the directory:

cd AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64
tar -xvzf icd-regisration.tgz
make
make install

Install the boost library and dev tools by typing:

apt-get install libboost1.40-all-dev

install cmake by typing:

apt-get install cmake

Since I have tried CAL++ in my Linux operating system so, I can guide you to install CAL++ properly. Search on internet and download properly CAL++ in your root directory.
Now type:

tar -xvzf calpp-0.90.tar.gz

cd calpp-0.90

After that, edit the CMakeLists.txt file in the cal++ directory. This is because it knows where ATI APP is installed. Open the file in nano by using:

nano CMakeLists.txt
Find the lines that start with FIND_LIBRARY() and edit to look like this:
FIND_LIBRARY( LIB_ATICALCL aticalcl PATHS "/root/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/" )
FIND_LIBRARY( LIB_ATICALRT aticalrt PATHS "/root/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/" ) 
FIND_PATH( LIB_ATICAL_INCLUDE NAMES cal.h calcl.h PATHS "/root/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include/CAL" )

Following with editing the bashrc file:

nano ~/.bashrc

If your CAL++ is not installed then do the below advanced step because in some system it happens and then its necessary to do the below step.
Go to the bottom and add this:

• ATISTREAMSDKROOT=/root/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/
• ATISTREAMSDKSAMPLESROOT=/root/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/samples
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH=opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2:$ATISTREAMSDKROOT/lib/x86_64
• export ATISTREAMSDKROOT
• export ATISTREAMSDKSAMPLESROOT

After that install cal++ by going into the cal++ directory and typing:

cmake .
once that's finished, type

make install
cd into pyrit_svn/pyrit

type:

python setup.py build install
cd 
cd cpyrit_calpp
python setup.py build install

Now you can run pyrit list_cores by showing cal++ device & cpus, then atlast run pyrit benchmark. Hope this advice helps you.

While trying the above steps if you get error same as:

• root@bt:~/pyrit_svn/cpyrit_calpp# ./setup.py build

The easiest code for same error is as follows:

• root@bt:~/cpyrit_calpp# pyrit benchmark
• /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cpyrit/cpyrit.py:63: UserWarning: WARNING: Version mismatch between <module 'cpyrit._cpyrit_cpu' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cpyrit/_cpyrit_cpu.so'> ('0.4.1-dev (svn r308)') and <module 'cpyrit._cpyrit_calpp' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cpyrit/_cpyrit_calpp.so'> ('0.4.0-dev (svn r304)')

If your problem is still not fixed then fix it by doing the below steps:

• cal.h: No such file or directory
• calcl.h: No such file or directory
• cal_ext.h: No such file or directory

Then edit the setup.py in pyrit_svn/cpyrit_calpp and change it to the below code:
CALPP_INC_DIRS.append(os.path.join(CALPP_INC_DIR, 'include'))

Or

CALPP_INC_DIRS.append(os.path.join(CALPP_INC_DIR, 'include/CAL'))
