Since version v1.7.0 the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.
Control environment variable can be used to force build against qt5
  • ENABLE_QT5=1 to build against qt5 (default:off)
Usage cases:
  • makepkg ENABLE_QT5=1
  • yay -S openboard --mflags="ENABLE_QT5=1"
Yay users warning:

If you want to build against qt5, you have to call pacman -S qt5-{base,declarative,multimedia,tools,svg,webchannel,webengine} beforehand.

@unphysicalix: That's correct, you have to rebuild after dependency packages are updated. Let me make this post sticky to avoid people running into this again and again.

If OpenBoard stops working and when starting it from the command line you get an error message of the type:

openboard: error while loading shared libraries: *.so.1.1: cannot open shared object

Then you most likely just need to rebuild OpenBoard (either with makepkg or with your favourite AUR helper) because a dependency package has been updated.

(That's the one disadvantage of AUR packages. I don't know what the threshold is for the package to be migrated into the community repository instead.)

@fsiegert Excellent work! It seems like there are more features now (?) presumably from the resources folder. Thanks for the hard work; it works like a charm!

@hwkiller Ok, thanks for the confirmation. I have added a desktop file now, and also installed some stuff from the resources/ folder into /opt/openboard/ similar to the Ubuntu package provided upstream. To make sure this is picked up I had to move the executable to /opt/openboard/OpenBoard, but I have provided a symlink from /usr/bin/openboard (note new capitalisation consistent with upstream and other dists). It should now find the content of the library. Let me know if you notice any problems.

@fsiegert, Seems to be compiling fine with that include change. Does openboard ship with any .desktop file anywhere in their repo? If not, it'd be nice to have an openboard .desktop file so I don't have to launch it via the /usr/bin command.

@hwkiller @benjarobin I have now tested myself and found a workaround for the change of QtMultiMedia.h on the system. Can you try it out and confirm whether all problems are resolved? Thanks!

Hi hwkiller and benjarobin, thanks for your investigations, I can include a patch as soon as the last point mentioned by hwkiller is clarified: I can't make the openboard package modify the QtMultimedia header file. Now I'm wondering why this was not a problem for you, benjarobin? Can you confirm that you compiled without that modification? Cheers, Frank

hwkiller commented on 2017-05-03 16:46 (UTC)

Oh! I forgot. There's one extra thing you have to do, and it's questionable. The project depends on Qt 5.5, technically, and has an #include <QtMultimedia>, which pulls in qtmultimediadefs.h, which then tries to pull in an non-existent file. This is a Qt 5.8 bug, acknowledged by the Qt team. To compile, you have to remove the #include "qtmultimediadefs.h" line from the QtMultimedia header on your system. Yes this sucks. No, there isn't another option it seems.

Ha, I only came back to comment that I solved it with two patches, and ofc you give your fix too.

Just throw those into the source array of the pkgbuild, then add to prepare() patch commands (e.g., patch -p1 < $srcdir/qchar.patch)

benjarobin commented on 2017-05-02 19:20 (UTC)

In order to build, I did add these lines juste before qmake OpenBoard.pro ... ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 libcrypto.so sed -i 's|LIBS += -lcrypto|INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/openssl-1.0/\n LIBS += -L$$PWD/ -lcrypto|' OpenBoard.pro sed -i "s|!= '\\\0'|!= QChar('\\\0')|" src/core/UBTextTools.cpp

hwkiller commented on 2017-05-02 18:35 (UTC)

I cannot get this to compile. I assume this is due to the openssl 1.0 -> openssl 1.1 update recently in arch.
