onnxruntime: error: package directory 'onnxruntime/backend' does not exist

FWIW following command worked for me ./build.sh --config Release --build_shared_lib --parallel --enable_pybind --skip_tests --build_wheel --update --build This should generate whl file in the build directory (build/Linux/Release/dist) which can be installed using: pip install onnxruntime-1.7.0-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl

Oh, I see.

./build.sh --config RelWithDebInfo --build_shared_lib --parallel

Doesn’t satisfy your needs.

Please append ‘–enable_pybind’ to that.

Then, when the script is finished, please run setup.py in the build dir. (e.g. ~/onnxruntime/build/Linux/Debug)

–enable_pybind : Enable Python Bindings –build_wheel: Build Python Wheel.

–build_wheel implies --enable_pybind.

If you specified --build_wheel, then you don’t need to run setup.py manually.

I can successfully run it, if the build.sh exit with 0.

There were previously bugs that dealt with the same problem: https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/issues/1737 https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/issues/1453 Also other people had the same problem https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/microsoft/onnxruntime/1229/503739646 So this looks like a legitimate problem.
