Script Usage

Just use docker

The preferred and recommended build platform is Alpine Linux and the recommended method is via docker. It will just make things easier.

Assumptions

The guide will assume you are using docker, with example commands that are either one liners or from within the container.

Danger

Don’t run this directly on the host system unless you know what you are doing. It’s not recommended and the build will probably fail.

What to expect

⭐ When you are familiar with the script you can do anything you want with a one liner. It’s pretty simple to use.

Host - execute script

To execute the script use this command:

chmod +x ~/qbt.sh # make it executable

~/qbt.sh

Note

Please see the switches and flags summary to see what options you can pass and how to use them

You can modify the installation command by editing this part of the docker command.

bash -s all

For example, to use ICU using -i, -c to trigger cmake and in turn activate Qt6 and optimise for the system CPU using -o:

bash -s all -i -c -o
