Error in the last step of building OpenVINO runtime for Mac

[hongbo-wei]

I want to build OpenVINO runtime to test my contributed program for MatrixInverse - GitHub Issue 22957 , and I follow the instructions in Mac (ARM). 

In the second last step, I run

cmake -G "Ninja Multi-Config" -DENABLE_SYSTEM_PUGIXML=ON -DENABLE_SYSTEM_SNAPPY=ON -DENABLE_SYSTEM_PROTOBUF=ON ..

and was told that couldn't find Protobuf even it is installed using `brew`. I therefore concatenated `-DPROTOBUF_LIBRARY=~/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf` in the command, and run it. No error.

In the last step I encountered an error that says `'protobuf::libprotobuf-NOTFOUND'`.

ninja: error: 'protobuf::libprotobuf-NOTFOUND', needed by '/Users/hongbo_wei/downloads/GitHub/openvino/bin/arm64/Release/libopenvino_tensorflow_frontend.2024.2.0.dylib', missing and no known rule to make it

I then set the environment path for CMake using the right path to protobuf, but the build system still cannot find it

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf
