I tried looking quite a bit through the forums, but couldn't find anything. 

Is it possible to build and run FRED2 Open on Linux?  I have 3.6.13 of the fs2open code, but couldn't find a way to build the FRED files.  I noticed when setting up a Windows install of fs2open that a version of FRED2Open was included with the dist, but I would prefer to avoid using Windows (or Wine) if possible. 

I'm new to any form of FS2 modding, so any tips would be a tremendous help.

As far as I know FRED is Windows-only for the time being. There is a cross-platform wxFRED under development.

But you could always use TextEdit...

Right now, the only way to use FRED on Linux is via Wine.

Thanks for the responses!  Now that I know for sure I can stop worrying about it for the time being.  ;o)

Anyone know how/where/if possible to check out the code for wxFRED?  I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything.  Thanks.

It's in the FSO svn. Check the code/wxFRED directory there. However, it's not even close to being functional at the moment.

It's not even close to being complete.  But it is functional, for extremely trivial functions.

Are you referring to some particular program, or just straight-out "wires' n pliers" text editing?  Hahaha...it sounds interesting...I will have to learn more about the format.

Just Notepad, or Notepad++, WordPad, ConTEXT... Whatever your favorite text editor is, doesn't matter.
