Feature Request: Support openscad dependent plugins #25

Open SchnWalter opened 11 months ago

SchnWalter commented 11 months ago

Currently, plugins dependent on external binaries don't work. For example, the AutoTowers Generator plugin requires an openscad binary to be available in $PATH, this plugin is in the top 10 most popular Cura plugins.

I'm not sure about the policy of exposing host binaries to flatpaks, but I see that the FreeCAD OpenSCAD Workbench was in the same situation and a fix was merged, so maybe we can have it for Cura as well.

I haven't tried building flatpaks before, but I can follow https://github.com/flathub/org.freecadweb.FreeCAD/commit/4a44ce2695f3fb2b383010e5184769744715d1e6 and submit a similar PR for Cura if I get a green light.

I haven't used any plugins that require openscad yet, but I think many people are using it. Feel free to create a PR for that. I will merge it.
