Openboard-git currently fails in prepare() because it still tries to apply poppler_26.02.patch from PR #1434. That patch appears to be obsolete now, since the upstream OpenBoard source already includes the poppler 26.02 adaptation in 1.7.7.

The build succeeded for me after:

1) removing poppler_26.02.patch from source=()
2) removing its corresponding entry from sha256sums=()
3) replacing prepare() with:
prepare() {
:
}

Before that, the failure was:

error: patch failed: src/pdf/XPDFRenderer.cpp:235
error: src/pdf/XPDFRenderer.h: patch does not apply
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

So it looks like the package just needs to drop that patch now.

This package is broken for a while (in fact since 1.6.4 was released), so I put out a patch over at https://github.com/bartoszek/AUR-openboard-git/pull/3. It updates the patches and depends, and adds the new startupHints directory to the installation. Feel free to test it out if you want to use openboard-git.

Now it doesn't compile due to the new ffmpeg package, because missing an AVStream member.

src/podcast/ffmpeg/UBFFmpegVideoEncoder.cpp:183:21: error: ‘AVStream’ {aka ‘struct AVStream’} has no member named ‘codec’
  183 |         if (stream->codec->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO)
      |                     ^~~~~
