+Beignet contains the code to run OpenCL programs on Intel GPUs, which defines
+and implements host functions required to initialize the device, create the
+command queues, the kernels, and the programs and run them on the GPU. It also
+contains the compiler part of the stack.
+
+Optional dependency is ocl-icd, if no OpenCL ICD Provider is already installed
+on the system. Note that you need at least one ICD Provider installed to make
+any use of OpenCL runtimes.
+
+NOTE: normally, the package is built with Intel's provided OpenCL headers. If
+you don't want to install them, set the INCLUDE_HEADERS environment variable
+to 0 prior the build:
+
+ INCLUDE_HEADERS=0 ./beignet.SlackBuild
