4. Source code

The source code of FRED is divided into several subprojects.

The subprojects belong to one of the following groups depending on which tools are used to build them:

• ::A:: stands for Autotools (used only for fred-db now),

• ::C:: stands for CMake (used with C++ code)

• ::D:: stands for FRED Distutils (used with some remaining Python code),

• ::S:: stands for standard Python Setuptools.

Note

This is a transitional state, it will get better in the following version.

Each subproject has its own GitHub repository.
