[Build] Warning: feature openvino-ep was passed, but that is not a feature supported by onnxruntime supports

Describe the issue

Hello,

I'm kind of a beginner here, I've been using onnxruntime (C++ API) for a while now. But I recently tried OpenVINO and it was FAST. So, I wanted to use OpenVINO execution proivder instead of standalone, due to the diverse nature of onnxruntime.

Tried Using Pre-built binaries

I got into OpenVINO™ Execution Provider documentation. Didn't quite understand most of the stuff and wanted to quickly go through it. I got the pre-built binaries, download the ort_ovep.zip, extracted, moved them to the executable directory (next to the onnxruntime-v1.21.0 pre-build windows-cpu binaries). I thought the ORT will get it. But it was still just

Available providers: "AzureExecutionProvider", "CPUExecutionProvider"

There was nothing to link against either. I left that alone.

Tried Build from source

Thought of building from source myself following the Building with different EPs: OpenVINO guide. Failed miserably, I didn't even know which repo it was talking about (to build), the microsoft or the intel one. Tried both, then proceeded with intel one at end. Got errors related to openvino.

I tried the OpenVINO 2025.1, with tags/v5.6 and the OpenVINO 2024.6 as well (because the guide said 2024.5), yet the other one at OpenVINO™ Execution Provider lists 2025.1 for 1.21.0). I did the setupvars step to, for each Command Line session.

Lots of things going on. Either it's a skill issue or the documentation isn't updated. If someone could just help on how to use the pre-built binaries or build onnxruntime from source with OpenVINO (in case, there's no pre-built available). Or I'm just gonna have to abandon onnxruntime.

Urgency

Not that urgent. But we got FYP to finish in the next few months.

Installation Guide

Prerequisites

• Windows operating system
• Visual Studio 2022 installed
• Git installed
• Python installed

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Open Command Prompt

Launch the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 from the Start menu.

2. Download OpenVINO

Download the OpenVINO toolkit from:

https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/repositories/openvino/packages/2025.1/windows

3. Set Up OpenVINO

• Extract the downloaded OpenVINO package to your preferred location
• Navigate to the extracted directory
• Run the setupvars.bat script to set up the environment variables:

  <extraction_path>\setupvars.bat
  

4. Clone ONNX Runtime Repository

git clone https://github.com/intel/onnxruntime.git

5. Navigate to ONNX Runtime Directory

cd onnxruntime

6. Build ONNX Runtime with OpenVINO

build.bat --config Release --use_openvino CPU --build_shared_lib --build_wheel --skip_tests --parallel

Note: You can change the target device (CPU, GPU, NPU, AUTO:CPU,GPU, AUTO:CPU,NPU etc.) at inference time without rebuilding.

@jatinwadhwa921 thanks man!

I'm about to close the issue. The release v5.6 has uncomplete changes. Someone should have mentioned that at least.
