AMD ROCm / Pro ports for Venom Linux

Ports for numactl, ROCm (HIP, runtimes, udev), and amdgpu-pro (optional). Use with Venom’s pkgbuild/scratch tooling.

What’s in this repo

Port	Purpose
numactl	NUMA libs/tools; required by ROCm.
rocm	ROCm platform to `/opt/rocm` + udev rules + render group (replaces a separate rocm-udev port).
amdgpu-pro	Optional. Pro installer to `/opt/amdgpu-pro`.

Prerequisites

Venom Linux (or compatible system with pkgbuild and scratch).
Build deps will be pulled by the ports: autoconf, automake, libtool (numactl); eudev (rocm); bash, zstd (amdgpu-pro). Install any missing system packages first if needed.

Install steps

1. Get the ports

git clone https://git.fraggle.lol/fraggle/ports
cd ROCm

2. Build and install in this order

Use -i for initial installation of each port.

Step 1 – numactl

cd numactl
sudo pkgbuild -i
cd ..

Step 2 – rocm

cd rocm
sudo pkgbuild -i
cd ..

The runfile is large; extraction can take several minutes. Packaging (xz) after “Build success” can take 5–15+ minutes. Let it finish.

Step 3 (optional) – amdgpu-pro

cd amdgpu-pro
sudo pkgbuild -i
cd ..

Rebuilding a port (already installed): use -rcf when you are rebuilding a port that is already installed (e.g. after updating the spkgbuild or sources).

3. Use ROCm

Ensure your user is in the render group (and video if you use it):
```
sudo usermod -a -G render,video $USER
```
Log out and back in (or reboot).
New shells get the ROCm environment from /etc/profile.d/rocm.sh. To use in the current shell:
```
source /etc/profile.d/rocm.sh
```
Check the GPU:
```
rocminfo
```

Summary

Clone this repo.
Build and install numactl, then rocm, then optionally amdgpu-pro (each: sudo pkgbuild -i from inside the port directory).
Add your user to render (and video), re-login, and source rocm.sh or open a new shell.
