Testing images fails with 'morphology not found" for ImageMagick in the log
Your version of imagemagick is old. Upgrade imagemagick, or pass -DCOMPARATOR=old to cmake.
The comparison will be of lowered reliability.
I moved the dependencies I built and now openscad won't run
It isn't advised to move them because the build is using RPATH hard coded into the openscad
binary. You may try to workaround by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to
place yourpath/lib first in the list of paths it searches. If all else fails, you can re-run
the entire dependency build process but export the BASEDIR environment variable to your
desired location, before you run the script to set environment variables.
Tricks and tips
Reduce space of dependency build
After you have built the dependencies you can free up space by removing the $BASEDIR/src
directory - where $BASEDIR defaults to $HOME/openscad_deps.
Preferences
OpenSCAD's config file is kept in ~/.config/OpenSCAD/OpenSCAD.conf.
