Tools
Misc tools (proprietary but freely available)
IDEs
- Microsoft Visual Studio Community [1] - the modern version of Microsoft's IDE. The Community edition is free.
- MSVC++ Express 2008 [2] - please note that you'll probably want to download the offline installation image file (iso) which -unlike the web installation- doesn't require any complicated and long-winded registration process. The direct link to the latest version (as of 11/2008) is [3] - after having downloaded the iso image, you'll either have to burn it or simply mount it in order to execute the installation (there are various tools to mount iso images under windows, you may want to check out daemon tools [4] for a freely available solution).
Shader Development
- RenderMonkey
- FX Composer (Windows)
Debuggers & Profilers
- AMD's Developer Tools (CodeAnalyst, available for free for Win32/Linux )
- Sun Thread Analyzer - for Linux: supports Intel x86 & AMD64 platforms (part of Sun Studio Express)
- Intel VTune (free Win32/Linux versions available for non-commercial use:requires an INTEL CPU!)
- Intel Thread Analysis & Profiling Tools
OpenGL Debugging
- GLIntercept (Open Source OpenGL Debugger with built-in shader editor)
- glslDevil OpenGL GLSL Debugger
Free/Open Source
- gcc - the GNU compiler (collection)
- Visual Studio Code - a modern, lightweight, open source code editor
- make - GNU make - build system
- autotools - autoconf, automake, libtool & co - build system
Speeding up compilations/rebuilds
- ccache - compiler cache, pre-compiled objects for gcc - speed up repeated compilations by using a configurable dynamic compiler cache
- distcc - distributed (fast!) compilations for any network - distributing compilations to several nodes
- Using TMPFS-based ram drives to speed up compilations:
- Using the GNU Gold Linker to speed up link times on ELF platforms by a factor of up to 5:
Documentation
- doxygen - source code documenting - automatically create source code documentation from source
Debugging
- BuGLe - OpenGL debugger
- gdb - the GNU project debugger - console debugger
- DDD - Data Display Debugger
Memory Usage
Profiling
- gprof - the GNU profiler - profiling
- rapido x86 profiler
- Built-in Profiler (using google perftools)
- KCacheGrind, front-end for valgrind's callgrind. Very reliable tool, produces nice little colourful graphs too. Linux only.
Source Code Management / Revision Control Systems
- CVS - Concurrent Versioning System
- SVN
- git
fraps-like Output/Video capturing for *nix
- http://pigeond.net/flightgear/screenstreamer/
- http://www.opengl.org/sdk/tools/BuGLe/
- https://github.com/wereHamster/yukon [5]
- https://github.com/wereHamster/seom
- http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul
- http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
