Latest Beta Release: SVN
The latest beta release of FreeSG is available from Subversion. Note that you will also need the SVN version of Agar.
Verifying distributions

It is important to verify the authenticity of the distributions, especially if you are downloading FreeSG from a mirror site. The FreeSG 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

FreeSG uses the BSDBuild build system. It is not necessary to install BSDBuild in order to build FreeSG 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 FreeSG.
