Hi guys.
I am trying to run the GPU miner on Mint 18 but when trying to start the miner it fails with this error:
Failed to get number of OpenCL platforms with error code -1001 (clGetPlatformIDs)
I had some issues with LibOpenCL.so.1 not being found but that was solved by installing Ocl-icd-libopnecl1
Many thanks

I am not sure sure that generation of intel integrated GPU support openCL. To be honest, I am pretty sure they do not.
Without openCL compatability, you can't mine on them. I have not heard of anyone mining on their intel GPUs before.

@xurious Thanks for the feedback. I was wanting to test and ge to know the software on my laptop but will find another rig to play with
