Works with Intel GT2 on Ubuntu 17.04 installing everything here: https://askubuntu.com/a/850594/698904
Output:

Platform number is: 1
Platform is by: Intel
Device number is: 1
Device #0: Intel(R) HD Graphics Kabylake ULT GT2

works with arch installing everything
Output :
Platform number is: 3 Platform is by: Intel(R) Corporation Platform is by: NVIDIA Corporation Platform is by: Mesa Device number is: 1 Device #0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz

Works also on Nvidia GTX 1080 on Ubuntu 18.04. (OpenCL libs distributed with the Cuda 8.0 toolkit)
Output:
Platform number is: 1
Platform is by: NVIDIA Corporation
Device number is: 1
Device #0: GeForce GTX 1080

Works on PopOS 20.04 with Nvidia GTX 2070

The key to make my OpenCL program work was to add set (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/") to my CMakeList.txt file. Then my program would work with the custom FindOpenCL.cmake file.

works on Ubuntu14.04, nvidia GTX 1060. minor changes by setting cuda/include as OPENCL_INCLUDE_DIR and cuda/lib64/libOpenCL.so as OPENCL_LIBRARIES. output:

Platform number is: 1
Platform is by: NVIDIA Corporation
Device number is: 1
Device #0: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
