Since version v1.7.0 the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.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

I had the same issue and yes, you need to reinstall it, but also make sure you do a clean build. This is especially relevant with AUR helpers.

@gbaldassin: You probably just need to re-install (i.e. compile) OpenBoard from the AUR after the poppler update, no?

openboard: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.123: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libraries installed: /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.124 /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.124.0.0

SOLVED: created a link sudo ln -s libpoppler.so.124.0.0 libpoppler.so.123 thank you

@fsiegert thank you!

Sorry about the slow response, I have finally managed to find the time to update my installation and fix the issues with OpenBoard compilation here. At the same time I have updated to OpenBoard 1.6.2. Please give the latest version a try and let me know if there are still any issues.

There is a new Quazip packages, with new directory names. Please, modify the quazip.patch!

Thanks! Is working now.

Hi @luuuciano, I hope I have now traced this ffmpeg down (+ fixed another poppler version problem along the way). You can probably remove the pkgignore now and retry. :)
