With version 1.7 released, i think it is the right time to move openboard build to qt6.
...
- Added support for Qt 6, with the precious help of @letsfindaway amd @JBBgameich.
on openboard's wiki page, there is a section on how to do so.
Basically, qt6 is supported.
As mentioned there, QtWebEngine should build from source with qmake .. -- -proprietary-codecs to support proprietary codecs. but I don't need that. I'll test it and report back.
The package does not compile without qt5-webengine, which should therefore be indicated in depends or makedepends.
@bertulli: I don't know. My first openboard build was allready with the AUR package of qt5-webkit.
Thanks @mimhof , it appears the qt5-webkit package was installed but I can't find it in the repos (and I don't remember having built it from AUR). Has it been removed?
The icu library is used by qt5-webkit and openboard. If you build openboard with a new build of qt5-webkit you should be fine without installing the "old" icu library.
As of now, the package seems to require the icu library, version 72, available on AUR. I installed from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icu72-bin and now it compiled. Maybe it would be better to link with the new libraries tho, as now it gives warnings:
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libicudata.so.72 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libicutest.so.72 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libicutu.so.72 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libicuio.so.72 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.72 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.72 is not a symbolic link
Thanks @kbk and @fsiegert , I confirm now it works!
@bertulli, @kbk: Thanks for the heads-up. I have pushed an update with the fix.
@bertulli Hoping the maintainer will update it soon, meanwhile one can change the 11th line in quazip.patch to make use of your current quazip1-qt5 version (currently 1.4):
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/QuaZip-Qt5-1.4/quazip
then:
updpkgsums
makepkg -f
makepkg -i

Since version
v1.7.0the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.Control environment variable can be used to force build against
qt5ENABLE_QT5=1to build againstqt5(default:off)Usage cases:
makepkg ENABLE_QT5=1yay -S openboard --mflags="ENABLE_QT5=1"Yayusers warning:If you want to build against
qt5, you have to callpacman -S qt5-{base,declarative,multimedia,tools,svg,webchannel,webengine}beforehand.fsiegert commented on 2023-01-16 12:04 (UTC)
@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:
Then you most likely just need to rebuild OpenBoard (either with
makepkgor 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.)
