A very simple project demonstrating the usage of Merkaartor components 
to build a GIS application.

Fetch source code of Merkopolo and Merkaartor in one go:

    git clone --recursive [email protected]:leplatrem/merkopolo.git

You should have the following folder tree ::

merkopolo's Issues

Merkopolo does not compile

With the instructions in the README, Merkopolo will not compile.
I guess the reason for this is that Merkopolo uses a very particular Merkaartor revision. I could not figure out which one, though.
