This guide (How to install CAL++ in Kali Linux) is part of a series that guides readers on How to install FGLRX, AMD APP SDK, CAL++ and Pyrit in Kali Linux. The idea is to install correct drivers in Kali Linux for your GPU and use CPU+GPU combination with Pyrit to make raw data crunching faster. An example would be to utilize this combined processing power to crunch though WPA/WPA2 capture file to find Wifi password.
Readers, please follow this series in the following order:
- Install AMD ATI Driver (fglrx) in Kali Linux 1.x
- How to install AMD APP SDK in Kali Linux?
- How to install CAL++ in Kali Linux?
- How to install Pyrit in Kali Linux?

Check FGLRX Installation
First check if fglrx module is installed:
lsmod | grep fglrx
You should get a response similar to:
fglrx 2635205 82 button 12945 1 fglrx
If not installed follow this guide to install it.
Install AMD ATI Driver (fglrx) in Kali Linux 1.x
Check AMD APP SDK Installation
Check if AMD APP SDK is installed. If not installed follow this guide to install it.

Installing CAL++
CAL++ is a simple library to allow writing ATI CAL kernels directly in C++. The syntax is very similar to OpenCL. Also C++ wrapper for CAL is included.
This project was registered on SourceForge.net on Feb 19, 2010.
Install prerequisites:
apt-get install cmake libboost-all-dev
Download CAL++
Download calpp 0.90 from: SourceForge CAL++ Website
Install CAL++
tar -xvf calpp-0.90.tar.gz cd calpp-0.90/
Edit CMakeLists.txt:
Find the lines starting with FIND_LIBRARY and FIND_PATH and replace them with this:
FIND_LIBRARY( LIB_ATICALCL aticalcl PATHS "$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}" )
FIND_LIBRARY( LIB_ATICALRT aticalrt PATHS "$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}" )
FIND_PATH( LIB_ATICAL_INCLUDE NAMES cal.h calcl.h PATHS "$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/include/CAL" )
Save and quit,
Make and Install CAL++
Issue the following commands:
cmake . make make install

Hey, had very bad problems with apt-get install cmake libboost-all-dev.
Always had some failure with Dependencies of other (libboost) Packages..
Tried everything, installing many things via Synaptic that had to deal with Libboost or tried downloading it from Boost.org.
What helped in the end:
In Synaptic, search for Libboost and uninstall EVERYTHING.. Afterwards:
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
(dont know what exactly is necessary)
apt-get install cmake libboost-all-dev

Is there anyway that you know of to uninstall amdappsdk 2.9? and do you have the link to v 2.7?
download APP 2.9, uninstalled it and downloaded 2.7 redid all of that and now no matter what i do cmake . always returns empty vriables NOTFOUND
please advise
2.9 breaks things badly. You could try to remove all files for 2.9 but I’m afraid you will waste time. Do a fresh install and start over.
i have saved my /var/cache/apt , since i dont want to redownload everything, but how do i apply those deb packages after i populate the cache? the only way ive found so far is to go through each file one by one and sometimes it still finds an unmet dependancy
in any ubuntu flavored distros, what driver is shipped with OS? obviously it works as my HD 7970 is working out of the box, but not xorg.conf and when purging fglrx **** it says nothing intstalled, could this be the problem? how do i remove the stock drivers, ripping my hair out, ubuntu makes win 98 look like pure gold
heres the magic baby!
of course change if diff paths
#FIND_LIBRARY( LIB_ATICALCL aticalcl PATHS “$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/lib/” )
#FIND_LIBRARY( LIB_ATICALRT aticalrt PATHS “$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/lib/” )
SET( LIB_ATICALCL “/opt/AMDAPP/lib/aticalcl” )
SET( LIB_ATICALRT “/opt/AMDAPP/lib/aticalrt” )
SET( LIB_ATICAL_INCLUDE “/opt/AMDAPP/include/CAL/” “/opt/AMDAPP/include/CAL/” )
#FIND_PATH( LIB_ATICAL_INCLUDE NAMES cal.h calcl.h PATHS “$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/include/CAL/” )
result of sudo cmake . now ->

can also fix boost date_time display by replacing boost 1.36.0 in CMakeList.txt to whatever boost version you have (my case 1.54.0)

You need to run cmake .
You forgot the space and the dot after cmake

I’m thinking I might have to try and redownload.
I was having a problem with the “cmake .” command, with the error message:
“CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
LIB_ATICAL_INCLUDE”
The problem:
The system can’t find what you’re asking it to include/import.
How to solve it:
Make sure your environmental variables are correct
1. Open Terminal
2. Enter the command: “leafpad ~/.bashrc” If not leafpad, use any text editor (e.g. nano, vim)
3. Go to the bottom of the page and look for “ATISTREAMSDKROOT”
4. What is its value? If it looks like this: “$AMDAPPSDKROOT” It means that its trying to evaluate the variable called “AMDAPPSDKROOT”
5. Find the AMDAPPSDKROOT variable in the same file. What is its value? Mine looked like this: “/opt/AMDAPPSDK” which was wrong, because when I went to the folder of my system it was actually at “/opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1”.
Make sure you have what you are importing
1. From the tutorial above, take note that it said “cal.h calcl.h” needs to be imported.
2. Procure these files from https://github.com/clockfort/amd-app-sdk-fixes/tree/master/include/CAL and place them in the correct folder, which the tutorial says is…
“$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/include/CAL”
Which evaluates to
“/opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/include/CAL”
3. Proceed to do the “cmake .” command.
If you have missing files, return to the repository and place the necessary files in the correct folder. I had to put “cal_ext.h” file as well.
I think you need to update this tutorial, as of now when I run cmake it does nothing but list to me potential commands after such as -i or -m etc.
Thought I’d post what I did here. First of all, Prokash’s Solution didn’t work for me. What I did was I checked the LIB_ATICAL part of it and found that it was pointing to /AMDAPP/Include when (and this is a serious I THINK) it should have been pointed to /AMDAPP/INCLUDE/CAL so I changed it and it worked. Just incase anyone needs this. (This was in the CMAKELists.txt)
Hi, for all having trouble installing CAL++ with the latest AMD 2.9.1 here is a link
https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?22782-(Guide)-Fglrx-AMD-APP-SDK-Pyrit-Cal-for-AMD-Video-Cards
its basically same as blackmoreops way, except the path names. Another thing to note is that extract calpp-0.90 in the home directory (if logged in as root then /root directory) otherwise it does not work and give errors. Hope it helps someone :)
I LOVE U MAN >…… < THKS
for those who are still having the problems same as Prokash
go to ur calpp-0.90 folder , read the README document , you will find this line:——>
Ensure that enviroment variable ATISTREAMSDKROOT points to ATI stream SDK directory.
Sometimes there is problem if directory in ATISTREAMSDKROOT doesn’t end with ‘\’
so complying to the above instructions
edit your .bashrc file like this (i mean add these lines)
AMD APP SDK
export AMDAPPSDKROOT=/opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/
export AMDAPPSDKSAMPLESROOT=/opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${AMDAPPSDKROOT}lib/x86_64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export ATISTREAMSDKROOT=$AMDAPPSDKROOT
(in the 2nd line as you notice I added “/” in the end)
then delete your calpp-0.90 folder from /root or home folder and reboot
after that go to this page : https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?22782-%28Guide%29-Fglrx-AMD-APP-SDK-Pyrit-Cal-for-AMD-Video-Cards
here if you have done step 11 earlier then continue to 12 otherwise do step 11 first
step 12 is very important if you didi it earlier and rebooted then continue otherwise do it and reboot now
then continue to step 21 and reboot……. DONE
THIS IS VERY ELABORATE!!!!!—-I KNOW U DIDN’T LIKE IT ; )
Great job blackMORE Ops

Does cal++ works with new macbook pro? Does it works with a professional egpu, for example Radeon Pro WX 9100? Can you make a post about this, with pyrit’s benchmark? thanks
