[Documentation]: Fix NVIDIA build instructions

[torrance]

Description of errors

Since at least v6.0, the build process for NVIDIA has required cloning https://github.com/ROCm/hipother.git, however this is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation here: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/developer_guide/build.html

Please add this repository as a requisite for building for NVIDIA.

Attach any links, screenshots, or additional evidence you think will be helpful.

Hi @torrance, the ROCm 6.2.0 documentation address the hipother repo in it's build instructions at Build HIP from source. The below excerpt is taken directly from the documentation under the NVIDIA tab.

1. Get the HIP source code.

git clone -b "$ROCM_BRANCH" https://github.com/ROCm/clr.git
git clone -b "$ROCM_BRANCH" https://github.com/ROCm/hip.git
git clone -b "$ROCM_BRANCH" https://github.com/ROCm/hipother.git

2. Set the environment variables.

export CLR_DIR="$(readlink -f clr)"
export HIP_DIR="$(readlink -f hip)"
export HIP_OTHER="$(readlink -f hipother)"

3. Build HIP.

cd "$CLR_DIR"
mkdir -p build; cd build
cmake -DHIP_COMMON_DIR=$HIP_DIR -DHIP_PLATFORM=nvidia -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/install -DHIP_CATCH_TEST=0 -DCLR_BUILD_HIP=ON -DCLR_BUILD_OCL=OFF -DHIPNV_DIR=$HIP_OTHER/hipnv ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
