How to prepare eclipse for programming opencl (installing the Intel OpenCL SDK) in Linux
I installed the Intel OpenCL SDK on OpenSUSE GNU/Linux 13.1. How do I prepare the Eclipse CDT IDE that comes with my distribution for OpenCL programming?
Edit:
Eclipse will be found after adding the include path /opt/intel/opencl-xxx/inlcude to the project and linking /opt/intel/opencl-xxx/lib64/libOpenCL.so to /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so CL/cl.h but GCC returns this error:

Create an OpenCL context on first available platform

on the created context

Create memory objects that will be used as arguments to
kernel. First create host memory arrays that will be
used to store the arguments to the kernel
float result[ARRAY_SIZE];
float a[ARRAY_SIZE];
float b[ARRAY_SIZE];
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++)
{

Queue the kernel up for execution across the array

globalWorkSize, localWorkSize,
0, NULL, NULL);
if (errNum != CL_SUCCESS)
{
std::cerr << "Error queuing kernel for execution." << std::endl;
Cleanup(context, commandQueue, program, kernel, memObjects);
return 1;
}
Read the output buffer back to the Host
errNum = clEnqueueReadBuffer(commandQueue, memObjects[2], CL_TRUE,
0, ARRAY_SIZE * sizeof(float), result,
0, NULL, NULL);
if (errNum != CL_SUCCESS)
{
std::cerr << "Error reading result buffer." << std::endl;
Cleanup(context, commandQueue, program, kernel, memObjects);

Output the result buffer
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++)
{

}
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Executed program succesfully." << std::endl;
Cleanup(context, commandQueue, program, kernel, memObjects);
return 0;

HelloWorld.cl:
__kernel void hello_kernel(
__global const float *a,
__global const float *b,
__global float *result)
{
int gid = get_global_id(0);
result[gid] = a[gid] + b[gid];
}
Solution
You just need to add an OpenCL include directory to your project and link to a libOpenCL. In my case (Ubuntu 13.04) I need to add /opt/intel/opencl-1.xxxx/include to the project’s include path, allowing #include <CL/cl.h>
Also add /opt/intel/opencl-1.xxxx/lib64/ to the linker search path and add OpenCL to the link library. 
This should be done.
