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

• Supports ARM64 hosts.
• Sets the QT_HOST_PATH environment variable for autodesktop configurations.
• Uses aqtinstall 3.2.* by default which notably fixes WASM/Android support for Qt 6.7+ and also improves autodesktop by installing the same modules for both the host and target.
• Fixes caching issue caused by outdated actions/cache dependency.
• Option to use alternate backend naqt which runs via dotnet instead of Python.

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
