Research direction
Start at the GitHub Action's input handling and the existing cmake build path; the issue names no files or tests. Trace how install-linux-dependencies and cmake-arguments are processed, then verify that a dependency-only option skips the build while still installing system dependencies.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Would it be possible to add a setting that only installs the system dependencies and skips the cmake build? This would be useful because I am using git submodules to vendor SDL and have my own cmake file that builds SDL as part of my application.
I am using this workaround in the meantime:
- uses: libsdl-org/setup-sdl@main
with:
version: 3.2.26
install-linux-dependencies: true
cmake-arguments: "-FAIL_ON_PURPOSE_SINCE_WE_ONLY_NEED_DEPENDENCIES"
continue-on-error: true
