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 ports

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

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