Since version v1.7.0 the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.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.)

@bartus, @fsiegert: I have installed rebuild-detector and after that, I have run the checkrebuild command that show me differents apps to be rebuilt but none was Openboard or Libpoppler. What more can I do? thanks

diegocaja commented on 2019-12-26 15:32 (UTC)

@fsiegert: How can I rebuild the package Openboard to include the new libpoppler library? I am relatively new in Arch, thanks

@diegocaja, @fsiegert: you should check out rebuild-detector this will monitor system upgrade process and report which AUR packages need rebuild base on missing libraries/symbols. I'm currently working on a patch that will fully automate this process

fsiegert commented on 2019-12-19 20:06 (UTC)

@diegocaja: Yes, rebuilding the OpenBoard package should help. Let us know if it doesn't help.

I think there is a new version of "libpoppler" that went out and this new message appears in my terminal when a try to open Openboard "openboard: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.90: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". For now, I solved this problem making a copy of libpoppler.so.92 and changing the number 92 for 90. But I wanna know if there is a better solution like rebuild the OpenBoard package or something similar? Thanks

@bartus: Thanks, seems to work fine for me, please do push them to AUR.

@fsiegert: I've made few tweaks here and there, could you check how they're working for you. Then I'm going to import them to AUR.

https://github.com/bartoszek/AUR-openboard/tree/drop_all_internall_deps

list of changes:

  • use system quazip instead of the internal one.

  • replace xpdf with poppler

  • drop OpenBoard-ThirdParty and move libs.pri to the main repo.

  • add install script

  • fix $.desktop file ownership

Particularly please check how pdf drag&drop import is working.
