Since version v1.7.0 the Qt5 backend is no longer actively maintained and supported.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

Hi. I could not install openboard. An error appeared caused by the dependencies:

$ openboard 
openboard: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.107: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The latest poppler installed on my archlinux is 21.03.0-1 (libpoppler.so.108).

Did I do something wrong? If no, could you check it?

Thanks a lot in advance, Fabio

@bartus: on Manjaro this does the trick, thanks!

@odabaz: If you intend to stick with quazip:0.9 or you are on Manjaro which is slacking off with updates, you have to roll back openboard package to commit preceding one introducing quazip:1.0 update: fa5004fdc2cc

git -C /tmp clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openboard.git
git -C /tmp/openboard reset --hard fa5004fdc2c~1
(cd /tmp/openboard; makepkg -i)

As far as I know there isn't any aur-helper that can perform package reset for you, so manual is the only way here.

Hey, I'm currently not able to install openboard. The thing is that I dont know how to apply the quazip.patch to my system. It's not quite simple as it might look. My current quazip package is quazip 0.9.1-1. I'm facing a similar issue as @rs410ga was.

src/adaptors/UBImportDocument.cpp:42:10: fatal error: quazip.h: No such file or directory 42 | #include "quazip.h" | ^~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[1]: [Makefile.Release:3387: build/linux/release/objects/UBImportDocument.o] Error 1 make[1]: Waiting for unfinished jobs.... src/adaptors/UBExportDocument.cpp:43:10: fatal error: quazip.h: No such file or directory 43 | #include "quazip.h" | ^~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[1]: [Makefile.Release:3263: build/linux/release/objects/UBExportDocument.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/odabaz/Applications/openboard/src/OpenBoard-1.5.4' make: [Makefile:42: release] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

@bartus, everything is fine, works.

bartus commented on 2020-10-11 12:33 (UTC)

Please report bugs/patches on GitHub/AUR-openboard it's a quicker way to reach me :)

bartus commented on 2020-10-11 12:06 (UTC)

I've updated quazip.patch please check how it's working for you champs.

Lasse_Ristig commented on 2020-10-11 12:03 (UTC)

Thank you @iyanmv!

Okay, so my trick wasn't a good idea. I though it was a simple path change and that quazip 1.x would be backwards compatible with quazip 0.x, but it's not the case. See:

https://github.com/stachenov/quazip/issues/92

Note the comment of current quazip maintainer in Arch:

"We don't keep old versions of libraries in the official repos unless there are official packages that need them and can't be ported, I don't see why it should be different for quazip."

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68196

So the only solution is to add a new PKGBUILD in AUR using the old 0.9 version. I did that, and you can find here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quazip-legacy/

So the only thing left to do is to changed in the PKGBUILD of openboard.
