install-qt-action

Fork of jurplel's wonderful install-qt-action. Getting started:

- name: Install Qt
  uses: jdpurcell/install-qt-action@v5
  with:
    # your options here

Additional features

Most of the features originally implemented here (e.g. support for ARM64 hosts) have been incorporated into the official version. The only remaining differences are:

• Option to use alternate backend naqt which runs via dotnet instead of Python.
• Some other options such as mirror and nohash.

Options

This fork retains all options of the original, so you can largely refer to the official documentation. The only noteworthy additions are:

use-naqt

Set to true to use use naqt as the installer backend. This only applies to the main Qt binaries since naqt doesn't implement commands to support the tools, source, documentation, or examples options. Assuming you aren't using any of those, you can also set setup-python to false since naqt doesn't need it.

Default: false

autodesktop

Set to true to enable the --autodesktop option when installing Qt. For cross-compilation installations (e.g. WASM, Android, iOS) this will automatically install the corresponding desktop version of Qt. If you don't want the desktop version, or plan to install it separately in a different step, you can disable this.

Default: true

extensions

Space delimited list of Qt extensions to install. With aqtinstall these will be appended to the list of requested modules since its command line arguments don't differentiate between modules and extensions. With naqt these will be passed in a separate argument. naqt also allows extensions to be specified as modules for compatibility with aqtinstall, but specifying them explicitly allows it to work with future extensions even if they aren't in naqt's known extension list.

Example values: qtwebengine, qtpdf

mirror

Base address of the mirror to use for downloading Qt.

Example: https://qt.mirror.constant.com

Default: Use the official Qt mirror.

nohash

Set to true to disable hash checking when downloading Qt. Use with caution, e.g. only for testing or as a last resort if Qt's official mirror (which hosts the hashes) is down.

Default: false
