Build OpenBoard on MacOS
These instructions work only for the coming version : OpenBoard 1.7. At the time you are reading, you need to place yourself on the dev
branch (explained below). If you want to build OpenBoard 1.6.4, you'll need to install QtWebKit instead of QtWebEngine, but we strongly recommend you to use the QtWebEngine library and the dev
branch instead.
Install Xcode via Apple Store. Then, open a terminal and run the following command :
xcode-select --install
sudo xcodebuild -license
Go to https://www.macports.org/install.php and pick the package corresponding to the version of your OS.
Once downloaded, double click on it and follow the instructions to install it. Then, go to your terminal and run :
sudo port -v selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
# place yourself in the directory you want
# (in this example at user's home directory)
cd
# create the folder
mkdir openboard
# enter in it
cd openboard
# download openboard sources
git clone https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard.git
# place yourself on the dev branch
cd OpenBoard
git checkout dev
sudo port install qt5
sudo port install qt5-qtwebengine
Open /etc/paths
in a text editor with administrator rights :
sudo nano /etc/paths
And add the following line (the location of the qmake binary, when installed with macports) :
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin
sudo port install poppler
sudo port install quazip
Then, go to OpenBard's directory
cd <path_to_openboard>
cd Openboard
You can compile OpenBoard
qmake OpenBoard.pro
make
Go the the release_scripts
directory :
cd release_scripts/osx
Now, we need to edit the scripts to define where qmake is located. Open build.sh and package.sh and change the value of BASE_QT_DIR
to :
BASE_QT_DIR=/opt/local/libexec/qt5
When you want to package a new version of OpenBoard, you have 4 scripts to execute, to create a fully built, packaged, signed and notarized application. Note that you need an Apple developer account to sign and notarize your app. :
sudo ./build.sh
sudo ./codesign.sh "Developer ID Application : ..." # <= you need to replace the parameter by your own certificate
sudo ./package.sh
sudo ./notarize.sh "[email protected]"
Now, you should see your OpenBoard installer in <path_to_openboard>/Openboard/install/macos>
