Thanks for sharing. We ran into a similar issue in the Qbs repo. The main pain point is the Qt installer which provides very poor user experience in a headless environment: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-166 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-1361 I did the same: compile Qt in a Docker environment. But it's very time-consuming, needs to be maintained and we faced issues when running testcases with gcc's address sanitizer enabled (on Linux). Windows containers on Windows showed poor performance on Travis CI and their size is tremenduous. And what to do on Mac OS which doesn't support container virtualization? Eventually I ended up writing a small shell script that pulls and extracts the needed Qt packages directly from https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/ on any platform. That is much faster and way more flexible than the official Qt installer. We still use Docker in our CI, but only on Linux where it gives us the most benefit. The script can be found here: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qbs/qbs.git/tree/scripts/install-qt.sh Richard _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
