+In order to properly link to the AMD App Stream SDK some environment variables
+need to be set. These are set by the profile scripts installed in
+/etc/profile.d:
+ - amd-app-sdk.[c]sh defines the whereabouts of the library and sets the
+ CPPFLAGS accordingly for the compiler to find the header files (these
+ scripts are enabled by default after package installation);
+ - amd-app-sdk-libs[32|64].[c]sh adds to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
+ variable the location of the library files included in this package.
+ Before setting these as executable PLEASE READ ON.
+
+Given that recent AMD Catalyst/fglrx drivers actually include an OpenCL library
+that frequently clashes with the one provided by this package, users of those
+drivers should leave the /etc/profile.d/amd-app-sdk-libs[32|64].[c]sh scripts as
+NOT executable. Users of other drivers should check first if their drivers
+already provide an OpenCL library implementation (the library name should be
+libOpenCL.so) and, if not, should set those additional scripts as executable.
