ci: add Ubuntu 22 OpenVINO build job with bundled runtime libs#15
Merged
Conversation
Adds a new release job that builds llama.cpp with -DGGML_OPENVINO=ON,
bundles libopenvino*.so*, plugins.xml (with paths rewritten to basenames
for $ORIGIN portability), and TBB alongside llama-server, then publishes
llama-{tag}-bin-ubuntu-openvino-2026.0-x64.tar.gz so lemonade can
download it without requiring a system-wide OpenVINO install.

Pull request overview
Adds a new GitHub Actions release build target for Ubuntu 24.04 that compiles llama.cpp with the OpenVINO backend enabled and packages the OpenVINO runtime (shared libs + plugins.xml) alongside the produced binaries, so consumers can run without a system-wide OpenVINO install.
Changes:
- Adds a new
ubuntu-22-openvinobuild job that downloads the OpenVINO 2026.0 toolkit, builds with-DGGML_OPENVINO=ON, and stages OpenVINO runtime libraries intobuild/bin/. - Rewrites
plugins.xmlentries to basename-only locations and sets ELF RPATH to$ORIGINto support a relocatable bundle. - Adds the new OpenVINO artifact to the release job dependencies and to the generated release notes link list.

- Set OPENVINO_VERSION_FULL to the correct 2026.0.0.20965.c6d6a13a886 (sourced from ggml-org/llama.cpp build-openvino.yml) - Install libtbb12, OpenCL headers, and ninja-build to match ggml-org's build environment - Run install_openvino_dependencies.sh from the toolkit before building Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use the ubuntu22 toolkit variant (which exists for 2026.0) and run on ubuntu-22.04 consistent with all other jobs in this workflow. Add an optional ubuntu_version input to the linux-setup-openvino action so callers can select the toolkit variant (default: ubuntu22). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OpenVINO 2026.0 no longer ships plugins.xml in runtime/lib/intel64/; plugin discovery is handled automatically by the runtime library. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
libtbbbind is TBB's optional CPU topology library; it depends on libhwloc which is not available on the CI runner or target systems. Only bundle libtbb and libtbbmalloc, which are sufficient for llama.cpp. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
