ibqhull_p missing in 0.19-24267 appimage

[atererus]

I downloaded FreeCAD 0.19-24267 appimage and libqhull_p was missing.
This was easily solved by installing it on Fedora 33 : yum install libqhull_p
found issue as reported here : https://tracker.freecad.io/view.php?id=4542 but not on the forum
IMHO it should be in the appimage (?)

Please report in the freecad-appimage repo

Old include the mantisbt tracker ticket as well. Thx!

On ArchLinux there is no official way to get the old libqhull_p.so.7.

Qhull's builds produce a shared library, libqhull_r.so (qhull_r.dll), several static libraries, and several applications using these libraries. They do not produce deprecated libraries: libqhull.so, qhull.dll, libqhull_p.so, and qhull_p.dll. Users of these libraries should convert their code to reentrant Qhull (libqhull_r.so) or link to libqhullstatic.a.

That is from the official qhull news site. It would be nice to do as they suggest and convert the code to the reentrant library. If nobody has time for that, I might have a go, but it will take me some time to get up to speed on the FreeCAD development process.

By all means, if this is the necessary thing to do, please consider doing it. Had no idea we used qhull. What is it a dependency for?

where is the libqhull dependency coming from? Openscad-, path workbench? Does freecad depend on libqhull at all?
