Add support to linux arm64

Is this possible ?

Hi! Did you try that? This action and its backend will install Qt for you. Maybe you don't know how to specify parameters?

You can check the action here, it already works for Linux, windows and Mac, it's failing for linux-arm. https://github.com/bluerobotics/ping-viewer/actions/runs/9822633870/job/27119577771

It's installing GCC x64 for arm.

OK.

The workflow config of build (ubuntu-22-arm, pingviewer-Release-Arm.AppImage):

  run: jurplel/install-qt-action@v4
  with:
    version: 5.15.2
    target: desktop
    modules: qtcharts
    setup-python: false
    install-deps: true
    cache: false
    cache-key-prefix: install-qt-action
    add-tools-to-path: true
    set-env: true
    no-qt-binaries: false
    tools-only: false
    aqtversion: ==3.1.*
    py7zrversion: ==0.20.*
    source: false
    documentation: false
    examples: false

It failed because:

The Linux arm64 support of Qt has been added since version 6.7.0 [^1]. To install arm64 build kit, you also need to specify the linux_arm64 host instead the default value [^2]. However,
This action does not support that host [^2], so the workflow will fail.

The good news is that you may be able to install Qt arm64 with aqtinstall directly. Please try these commands [^3][^4]:

[^1]: Search "arm64" and compare the result between https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.6/supported-platforms.html and https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.7/supported-platforms.html [^2]: Host check: https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action/blob/f03f05556819ceb3781ee2f455ec44c339d683c0/action/src/main.ts#L116-L140 [^3]: Copied from https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action/blob/f03f05556819ceb3781ee2f455ec44c339d683c0/action/src/main.ts#L289-L331 [^4]: Copied from https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action/blob/f03f05556819ceb3781ee2f455ec44c339d683c0/action/src/main.ts#L347-L381

If everything goes well, I think you will see linux_gcc_arm64 during the Qt installation.

This action is not actively maintained, thus new features of its backend (i.e., aqtinstall) will not be quickly adapted. If above commands don't help you, you can search and raise issues in aqtinstall's repository.

I wouldn't quite go that far—it does sometimes take me quite a while to find time to look into issues/PRs.

I would also definitely accept a PR providing support for this.
