How scripted do you want?  The macosx-setup.sh script runs GUI installers for both CMake and Qt, so it's not something that can be done with no human intervention, but it's still a lot simpler than manually installing everything.


Chocolatey supports downloading an installer and running it, just need to define the "package".  Maybe I'll have a look at that this weekend.

We host all the 3rd party libs required for Windows except for Qt.  We don't host the build tools such as Cmake, Cygwin, Python and Nsis either, but Chocolatey has them covered.

I'm not sure if the Qt licence allows us to redistribute their installer (haven't checked), and it's huge, so whatever script we use might have to handle tracking wherever Qt keep the downloads.  IIRC it has changed over the last year or so.
