IDEs
- MSVC++ Express 2008 [1] - 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 [2] - 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 [3] 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)

Free/Open Source
- make - GNU make - build system
- autools - 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
