Since version v1.7.0 the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.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

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

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