Since version v1.7.0 the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.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: Thanks for taking a look. From what I understand it's not redundant -- actually quite the opposite: because we are moving the icon into /usr/share (and it thus won't exist in /opt/OpenBoard/), the desktop file needs to lose the reference to /opt/OpenBoard/. Or am I misunderstanding your point?

@fsiegert: isn't b35f243d5e22 redundant, as we already copy the PNG icon to /use/share ? https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=openboard#n51

@bartus That's strange indeed... I was assuming base-devel is automatically installed if makepkg is available, but apparently not. So I guess this is indeed redundant and we can remove it at the next iteration.

@dS810 You should install base-devel in any case (cf. link from bartus).

@fsiegert Now it works as expected. Thank you!

@fsiegert: including patch in makedepends array is a bit funny not to mention redundant, as it gets installed with base-devel group alongside gcc, as prerequisite to build any AUR package. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @@wiki@@
