Linux (build_rocky.yml) and Windows (win/build-all-win.py) already pass
BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER=ON when building from source; macOS was the odd one
out. Three small changes to bring it up to parity:
1. .github/workflows/build_osx.yml — \`brew install qt\` (Qt6 with Svg)
in the Install Dependencies step, then set QT_DIR=\$(brew --prefix
qt) and BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER=ON in the Run Build Script env.
2. nix/build-all.py — install_qt6() now honours a pre-set QT_DIR.
Before this change get_qt6_aqt_config() raised on non-Linux,
blocking bonsai builds on macOS/Windows from ever using a
system-provided Qt6. We now validate that QT_DIR points at a real
Qt6 install (probes lib/cmake/Qt6/Qt6Config.cmake) and skip the aqt
download path if so. Linux flow is unchanged: when QT_DIR is unset
the function falls through to the existing aqtinstall path.
build_osx.yml stays workflow_dispatch-only — slow run (~1h with
ccache, longer cold), so manual fire when wanted. Cherry-pick this
file + nix/build-all.py to v0.8.0 to make the workflow dispatchable
against the ifcviewer-wgpu branch before the squash lands.

Compile the Bonsai Viewer as part of the Linux and Windows binary builds,
and ship the Autodesk connector alongside the viewer executable.
Qt6 dependencies:
- The viewer links Qt6::Svg for runtime icon tinting. Svg is a separate
base-Qt archive, so aqt now installs "qtbase qtsvg" (plus icu on Linux)
rather than qtbase alone, on both Linux and Windows.
- Qt6::CorePrivate is exposed differently across Qt versions: Qt 6.8 ships
the target inside Qt6Core, while Qt 6.10 provides it only as a separate
CorePrivate config package. The viewer CMakeLists requests it via
OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS so it resolves on both.
- When cross-compiling Windows ARM64, windeployqt runs from the host x64
Qt, so qtsvg is installed into the host Qt as well.
Windows build:
- build-all-win.py passed -DBUILD_IFCVIEWER, a flag since renamed to
BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER, so the Windows build compiled no viewer at all. It
now passes -DBUILD_BONSAIVIEWER.
- The Autodesk connector is bundled under connectors/ next to
BonsaiViewer.exe in the packaged archive, mirroring the Linux builds.
- The Windows workflow builds the connector (PyInstaller) before the main
build so it is available to bundle.
Connector bundling:
- The Linux rocky workflows build the connector and bundle it into the
BonsaiViewer archive; the Windows build now does the same.

Replace the old IFC viewer build switch with BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER in CMake, the Linux workflows, and the nix build script.
