Which Version of Ext should I choose?
There are two versions of Ext available, the "stable" release and the unstable SVN.

Stable (Latest Release)

 * Generally tested and stable.
 * Documentation is complete.

UnStable (SVN)

 * Generally untested and not stable.
 * Documentation may be missing or incomplete.
 * Contains bugfixes and new features.

Stable
Can be found at Google Code Project Hosting. There are binary files provided for Windows using the latest version of the FreeBASIC Compiler. Linux and older versions of the compiler will need to download the Source package and compile the library manually.

UnStable (SVN)
You may download the SVN version by entering the following command from the command line if you have the SVN command line client installed.

svn checkout http://fb-extended-lib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ fbext

This will download the complete source code into the fbext directory. If you are using a Graphical SVN client you can enter just the repository URI.

To compile the source, see the Compiling Source page.

Installing Ext
For the binary download you just need to copy the inc and lib directories into your FreeBASIC directory. To install from source code follow the directions at the Compiling Source page.
