# OpenBoard
|
||
|
|
OpenBoard is an open source cross-platform interactive white board application designed for use in schools. It is a fork of Open-Sankoré, which was itself based on Uniboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported platforms are Windows (7+), OS X (10.9+) and Linux (tested on Ubuntu 14.04, but should work with other distributions too).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The latest version (1.10) requires Qt 5.5. See below for Linux-specific instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenBoard makes use of several third-party libraries, which are available in the OpenBoard-ThirdParty repository. These should be built first; instructions are provided for each library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Qt
|
||
|
|
Due to a shared library conflict within Qt5 on Linux (the Qt Multimedia and Qt Webkit modules are built against different versions of gstreamer by default), a specific installation of Qt5.5 is needed for all of OpenBoard's features to work correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can either be built from source, with the configure flag `-gstreamer 1.0` (see [here](http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-building.html)), or installed from Stephan Binner's PPAs on Ubuntu.
|
||
|
|
In the latter case, simply add the repositories and install Qt 5.5.1 like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt551-trusty
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install qt-latest
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Onboard
|
||
|
|
OpenBoard has a built-in virtual keyboard, but also allows the use of an external OSK (which is now the default, as the built-in keyboard will likely be removed in a future release).
|
||
|
|
On Linux, Onboard is currently used as the external OSK. In case you can't or won't install it, you can simply use the built-in OSK instead.
|
||
|
|
|

|
# Installation & Deployment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Deployment scripts are provided for all three platforms. These take care of compiling OpenBoard, including the translations (for OpenBoard and for Qt), stripping the debug symbols, creating the installers etc.
|
||
|
|
Minor modification to those scripts may be necessary depending on your configuration, to set the correct Qt path for example.
