CGMINER & FPGA still requires OPENCL.DLL?

It appears that CGMINER requires opencl.dll to be installed. This is an issue for FPGA only mining. I'm running in a virtualized environment that does not support opencl.dll. Is there a way to run CGMINER without GPU mining functionality/opencl.dll dependency?

Thanks

No. cl*() calls are linked.  You would need to change the code to load opencl.dll dynamically.
Maybe bfgminer is doing it, if not, it probably should.

Compile/Configure option maybe? Check if there is one to disable opencl

EDIT: try building it with --disable-opencl --enable-bitforce or --disable-opencl --enable-icarus
I just tried.  It works!

[EDIT]

Figured it out
  Needed to install AMD SDK Even though i'm not using the GPU because the exe was linked to opencl.
  Also needed to use -G to disabled GPU mining.
