Description of work

This fix was added to not to import and reuse a method from Mantid::DataHandling library by linking with target_link_libraries in cmake which had caused some weird import errors on some Operating systems and to caused to miss some Crystal algorithms.

In this PR, the method that was required to be imported which was a only a small number of lines, was copied into RotateSampleShape class rather than reusing.

Further detail of work

To test:

The problem only appears when using a standalone installer, not a conda install (don't know why). The following build will create standalone installers for all OS, use them to test:
https://builds.mantidproject.org/job/build_packages_from_branch/917/

1- Follow the testing instructions as mentioned in #37908
2- Check for any startup errors or any missing Crystal libraries in different OSs specially on Linux

Release notes were not added since this is just an internal fix.

  • If there is GUI work does it follow the GUI standards?
  • If there are changes in the release notes then do they describe the changes appropriately?
  • Do the release notes conform to the release notes guide?

Functional Tests

  • Do changes function as described? Add comments below that describe the tests performed?
  • Do the changes handle unexpected situations, e.g. bad input?

@RichardWaiteSTFC Could you please use the installers from https://builds.mantidproject.org/job/build_packages_from_branch/917/ run to test this issue? Thanks!

Looks good to me - tested original PR instructions and works as expected using standalone installed version on windows. No import warnings for MantidCrystal or DataHandling algorithms. Not approving yet as waiting for @thomashampson to test on linux (thanks!).

Tested on Linux both the standalone tarball and conda install, and the missing library error is fixed.
