be added to the same configuration option, but requires that

OpenCL support on supported AMD GPUs is thus enabled as follows:

It is also possible to use the OpenCL Image extension without a
system-wide installation of the <package>rocm-runtime-ext</package>
package by setting the <varname>ROCR_EXT_DIR</varname> environment
variable to the directory that contains the extension:
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> export \
ROCR_EXT_DIR=`nix-build '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' --no-out-link -A rocm-runtime-ext`/lib/rocm-runtime-ext</screen>
</para>

With either approach, you can verify that OpenCL Image support
is indeed working with the <command>clinfo</command> command:
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> clinfo | grep Image
Image support Yes</screen>
