About Qt 5 SDK

Qt 5 development defaults package.

## Package info

- The purpose of this package is to be more or less the equivalent of https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/qt5-default. The MinGW/GCC version is chosen as the current one available on GitHub Actions hosted runners.

## Quick start

- After [installing Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install), run `choco install -y qt5-default cmake qtcreator` in PowerShell and then launch Qt Creator to try to create a new Qt Widgets Application.

## Troubleshooting

- Check that all the packages and their dependencies were installed, if one failed (e.g. due to network-related errors) try to reinstall it using `--force` or try a previous version...

- False positives may occur with some antivirus software, see https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall/issues/423.

- 32 bit versions of Qt Creator do not seem available anymore, see https://github.com/AdmiringWorm/chocolatey-packages/issues/362.

- If multiple versions of the Qt SDK and/or C++ compilers are already installed, Qt Creator might need to be reconfigured to list them. Please backup `%APPDATA%\QtProject\qtcreator\qtversion.xml` and `%APPDATA%\QtProject\qtcreator\toolchains.xml` before installation and check it after or update Tools\Options\Kits in Qt Creator if needed.

## Package parameters

The package uses `aqt install-qt` command, see https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall. The following package parameters can be set:

- `/base:URL` - Will pass `--base URL` parameter to `aqt install-qt` command. Useful for offline installations, see https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall/issues/224.

- `/config:SETTINGSPATH` - Will pass `--config SETTINGSPATH` parameter to `aqt` command. Useful in combination with `/base` parameter, where `ignore_hash` option might need to be set to True in `settings.ini`, see https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall/issues/521.

- `/modules:MODULE1 MODULE2...` - Will pass `--modules MODULE1 MODULE2...` parameter to `aqt install-qt` command. By default, `--modules qtcharts qtscript` is passed.

- `/Path` - Will try to update Windows `PATH`.

- `/NoRegistry` - Will not try to update Windows registry.

- `/Noqtversionxml` - Will not try to update `%APPDATA%\QtProject\qtcreator\qtversion.xml`.

- `/Notoolchainsxml` - Will not try to update `%APPDATA%\QtProject\qtcreator\toolchains.xml`.

To pass parameters, use `--params "''"` (e.g. `choco install qt5-default --params "'/base:http://127.0.0.1:8000/ /config:C:\Qt\settings.ini /modules:qtcharts qtscript'"`).
