OpenSCAD with X11

[fancsali]

Package description

As OpenSCAD is already part of the science-packages repository, I'd propose to include the X11-related code as well, so one can use it via Xserver Xsdl on their Chromebooks, Android tablets and similar devices.

Please note that adding X11 version of OpenSCAD would not be a straightforward process, mainly due to limited in functionality build of Qt available in Termux.

Need:

qscintilla-qt5
qt5-base
qt5-multimedia

I can look into this now I'm packaging a newer version of some Qt modules (base is in now, others are WIP)

By looking at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/graphics/openscad/openscad.spec?expand=1, it seems OpenSCAD requires OpenGL to work too (quite reasonable for a CAD software). Without OpenGL, the rendering could be horrendous but I'll give it a go anyway

OK a note on the chain:

1.

• qscintilla-qt5
• qtmultimedia
  2. opencsg
  3. OpenSCAD

Update: this requires Qt to be built with OpenGL support

[librehat]

I found LibreCAD which doesn't seem to require OpenGL. Does that suit your workflow?
