What tools do I need to compile ZDL?

Post by wolfman »

I've never compiled anything before. I'd really like to have a ZDL build that fixes the warp issue mentioned here.

For some reason the project switched to Qt6 which is not a GPL-compatible version of Qt.

I have never compiled a Qt project before so unfortunately I am unable to help you, but I would have been willing to dive down the rabbit hole if it was Qt5 or older which still uses a GPL-compatible license. At this point though, I think you should beg the developers to do a release or ask them to revert to an older version of Qt in order to keep the software fully GPL-compatible.

Thank you for the info. This looks like something that is beyond my capabilities. I noticed some activity on GitHub today, but I don't know if it's anything significant.

Interesting, it seems it actually does support Qt5. I'll have to do some putzing around with it tomorrow.
