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.
Since it is still in the alpha stage, CADTools is currently only available via Subversion:
- Subversion: http://dev.hypertriton.com/cadtools
- SourceForge Download Area (Project Page)
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:

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.
