merkaartor/ Download

Merkaartor is developed with the GPL edition of the Qt library and is available under the GNU General Public License. Binaries below are also compiled with the open source edition of the same Qt library.

As is usual with free software, there is no guarantee these files will work, it is not even guaranteed they will not harm your system, although I've tried to double check everything (and they work for me).

Merkaartor is available for the following operating systems, but please read this Important note on Qt compatibility first.

  1. Source edition
  2. Debian
  3. Fedora
  4. Gentoo
  5. Binary edition for (K)ubuntu edgy
  6. Pardus linux
  7. Windows binary edition
  8. Macintosh
  9. Windows CE

Source edition

Download the latest source version at merkaartor-0.14.tar.bz2 (5046kB) under the terms of the second edition of the GNU General Public License Compilation and installation instructions are provided in the INSTALL file included with the source. Note that you need at least a Qt 4.4.3 development environment to compile Merkaartor, preferably 4.5.2.

The latest unstable version is also available through Subversion with

svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/merkaartor/

Older "stable" releases can be checkout from

svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/merkaartor-branches/
