MapLibre Native SlintOfficial

MapLibre Native in Slint apps

Maintained by MapLibre

A reusable Slint map component (MMapView) and a C++ backend library you link from your own CMake app. It renders with WebGPU by default, with an OpenGL path that hands Slint a GL texture directly. The project calls itself a working reference rather than a packaged SDK: there are no versioned releases yet, so you pull it in with FetchContent at a pinned commit.

There are no releases yet, so pin a commit in FetchContent. The .slint file declares the view; your main.cpp still connects the MMapAdapter callbacks to the backend, and the README says to start from a copy of cpp/main.cpp. It builds MapLibre Native from source, renders with WebGPU by default (OpenGL is an option), and runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Other platforms are on SDKs.
