FreeBSD already has X11 and most POSIX APIs that the Linux implementation uses, so we can share most of the code: - src/frameworks/CMakeLists.txt and src/gui/CMakeLists.txt: compile UBPlatformUtils_linux.cpp and UBKeyboardPalette_linux.cpp on FreeBSD as well. - src/frameworks/UBPlatformUtils_linux.cpp: guard the DBus-based onboard keyboard integration with #ifdef Q_OS_FREEBSD, since the onboard daemon is not commonly available on FreeBSD. - src/web/UBEmbedController.cpp and src/podcast/UBPodcastController.cpp: add Q_OS_FREEBSD alongside Q_OS_LINUX in the platform ifdefs. Tested on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT amd64 with Qt6 5.15.

OpenBoard is an open source cross-platform interactive whiteboard application designed primarily for use in schools. It was originally forked from Open-Sankore, which was itself based on Uniboard. It supports digital pens, virtual keyboards, PDF import, web browsing, video playback, and screen annotations.

This PR adds support for building OpenBoard on FreeBSD.
FreeBSD already has X11 and most POSIX APIs that the Linux
implementation uses, so most of the platform code can be shared.
Changes
src/frameworks/CMakeLists.txtandsrc/gui/CMakeLists.txt: compileUBPlatformUtils_linux.cppandUBKeyboardPalette_linux.cpponFreeBSD as well, using
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME MATCHES "FreeBSD|Linux".src/frameworks/UBPlatformUtils_linux.cpp: guard the DBus-basedonboard keyboard integration with
#ifdef Q_OS_FREEBSD, since theonboard daemon is not commonly available on FreeBSD.
src/web/UBEmbedController.cppandsrc/podcast/UBPodcastController.cpp: addQ_OS_FREEBSDalongsideQ_OS_LINUXin the platform ifdefs.Context
OpenBoard is being packaged for the FreeBSD ports tree
(Bug 295104).
These upstream changes will reduce the number of FreeBSD-specific
patches the port needs to carry.
Testing
Tested on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT amd64 with Qt6.
