Build script

Im trying to build onnxruntime from source Im following commands from https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/build/inferencing.html.

Output - 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 7

try using --build_wheel instead
i.e.
./build.sh --use_dnnl --config Release --skip_tests --build_wheel --parallel --compile_no_warning_as_error --skip_submodule_sync

with your commandline above, you needed to build the python bindings with --enable_pybind and then you can build the wheel after that. (but you need to do it in your build directory)

--build_wheel conveniently does both within the build script. so it's easier to run the commandline example I have above.
note that --skip_tests skips running tests, so that failing python tests doesn't prevent the build from succeeding.
