The latest installer package we created still had a crash on resize/startup. 
Would be nice if somebody could investigate it (check with Patrick Spendrin).

You can compile Marble as a Qt-Only application. You just need to provide 
QTONLY=ON when executing cmake

cmake -DQTONLY=ON ../marble

Do you compile on Windows or on Linux?

I have no idea what you are talking about in this sentence.

They should get installed. If they aren't installed then it's a bug and you 
might want to report it.

Marble is Free Software. Just like JOSM.
But it's technically not feasible to "combine" the applications in terms of 
source code since one is written in C++ and the other in Java. But you can use 
them both in parallel :-) And we plan to introduce an editing mode for Marble at 
one point.
