OpenCL platform ID is empty

I'm trying to use oneAPI, I followed the tutorial on Altera's YouTube channel, where I would have to install the following packages: OneAPI base toolkit and FPGA supporting DCP++/C++ Compile, I followed the steps as in the tutorial.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DPART=1
make fpga_emu

but when executing this last command it gives this error:

OpenCL platform ID is empty
OpenCL platform name is empty
Failed to find any of these OpenCL platforms:
Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM)
Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM) (preview)
llvm-foreach:
icpx: error: fpga compiler command failed with exit code 14 (use -v to see invocation)
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/fpga_emu.dir/build.make:97: vector_add.fpga_emu] Error 14
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:85: CMakeFiles/fpga_emu.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:92: CMakeFiles/fpga_emu.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:124: fpga_emu] Error 2

How do I solve this? Give me the step by step, because the Intel documentation is lacking, how do I configure this open

    Hi @GabrielMarco,


    Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

    Based on the error mention it seems that you might have missed some other required software, which I suspected it maybe the 'FPGA Support Package for the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler' (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/fpga-download.html?operatingsystem=windows&windows-install=offline). More details of of which software is required you can refer to the oneAPI handbook in the link below:

    - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi-fpga-add-on/developer-guide/2025-0/installing-the-intel-oneapi-fpga-development.html


    And once all is installed would recommend to refer to steps #5 in the link above to set the required environment variable. Once all is set you will be good to go.


    Note: Also here is the link is system requirement for the oneAPI tools (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/system-requirements/oneapi-dpcpp/2025.html)

    Hi @GabrielMarco,


    Unfortunate to hear that, when running the .sh files to set the environment variable, what are the output?

    Also which oneAPI version that you are using and which OS you are building with?

      Hi @BoonBengT_Altera . I'm using version oneAPI base toolkit 2025.0.1, and oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler is 2025.0.0, because I want to use hls4ml which has not yet been updated to the new version of oneapi. My SO is Linux
