How to install oneMKL in GitHub Actions?

[hmenke]

I'm trying to use oneMKL in GitHub Actions and I have stumbled upon https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneapi-ci which provides an example how to install DPCPP inside GitHub Actions. To this end I simply copied the script into my workflow file and essentially replaced COMPONENTS=intel.oneapi.win.dpcpp-compiler with COMPONENTS=intel.oneapi.win.mkl.devel:intel.oneapi.win.tbb.devel:intel.oneapi.win.dpl.

name: oneMKL test

on: [ push ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-2019
    steps:
      # https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneapi-ci/blob/master/scripts/install_windows.bat
      - name: Install Intel oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL)
        shell: cmd
        run: |
           on

          set COMPONENTS=intel.oneapi.win.mkl.devel:intel.oneapi.win.tbb.devel:intel.oneapi.win.dpl
          curl.exe --output %TEMP%\webimage.exe --url %URL% --retry 5 --retry-delay 5
          start /b /wait %TEMP%\webimage.exe -s -x -f webimage_extracted --log extract.log
          del %TEMP%\webimage.exe
          webimage_extracted\bootstrapper.exe -s --action install --components=%COMPONENTS% --eula=accept -p=NEED_VS2017_INTEGRATION=0 -p=NEED_VS2019_INTEGRATION=0 -p=NEED_VS2022_INTEGRATION=0 --log-dir=.
          set installer_exit_code=%ERRORLEVEL%
          rd /s/q "webimage_extracted"
          exit /b %installer_exit_code%

However, the installer never finished. bootstrapper.exe just sits there for multiple hours without any output until GitHub kills the run. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I've also reported this as an issue on the oneapi-ci repo: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneapi-ci/issues/71

Oof, turned out the culprit was the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM="offscreen" (which I had omitted in my example and therefore was not able to reproduce the issue)
