Prerequisites
CADTools requires the Agar and FreeSG libraries. Note that the Subversion CADTools source also requires the SVN version of the Agar and FreeSG libraries.

CADTools is written in ANSI C, and is portable to all platforms supported by Agar. As with any Agar application, the hardware-accelerated OpenGL display mode is strongly recommended.
Latest Beta Release (SVN)

Since it is still in the alpha stage, CADTools is currently only available via Subversion:

Verifying distributions

It is important to verify the authenticity of the distributions, especially if you are downloading cadtools from a mirror site. The cadtools source distributions are signed by vedge at hypertriton.com. Get the public key (0x206C63E6) from a public key server or from here. See the GnuPG website for more information about public key signatures.

The fingerprint should match:

Extra developer tools

cadtools uses the BSDBuild build system. It is not necessary to install BSDBuild in order to build cadtools or modify its Makefiles, because part of it comes bundled with the source distribution. However, if you want to properly edit/regenerate the configure script or compile custom IDE project files, BSDBuild needs to be installed.

Users of the Vim editor may find the following syntax file helpful when developing with cadtools.
