OpenBoard Install
by Regnad Kcin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YQTT)
Apologies but here I share about the OpenBoard software I have been using for nearly two years now. http://www.openboard.ch/index.en.html It is developed by some folks in Switzerland. I am from rural southern Illinois and live in northwest Beijing. I use it with a Wacom Cintiq-13 tablet in lectures I give. I save my .ppt and .odp as .pdf which can be annotated in OpenBoard. Its display is compatible with OBS-Studio as a capturable window. One can capture live video from a camera and put that with the OpenBoard display for recording or sharing live online. It also is great for meetings and teaching. You do need a computer with at least 2 video ports, one for the display screen and one for the Wacom. More displays are useful for studio recording and remote conferencing.
There was a quite difficult method I used originally to install OpenBoard in Slackware at first. I have just found a rather simple method for Slackware64 -current that someone with actual skill could refine.
1. Install ffmpeg if you don't have it already and ffmpeg3-compat package from AlienBob repo.
2. Download the .deb from : https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/Ope....5.3_amd64.deb
3. Convert the .deb to tgz with deb2tgz and install with installpkg in the usual way.
4. The executable is located in /opt/openboard/OpenBoard
That was all it took for me. Some deps may have been gathered in process of other things I am using, but this is a recent clean install of 64-current kept up-to-date.
