Releases and Downloads

Check the releases page.

Building

Z2Edit is built with bazel on Linux. The bazel workspace should download all required dependencies.

Known build issues

On Ubuntu 16, the MIR libraries link with an older version of the protobuf libraries, which causes a conflict when starting the program. A workaround is to not link with the nfd (native file dialog) library. To do this, comment out the references to //external:nfd in the BUILD and imwidget/BUILD files.

This will, unfortunately, remove the file load/save dialogs. You can still load and save with the load and save commands in the Debug Console.
