Tools

1 Software Development Tools

This course will be using the GNU "tool chain". These tools are (almost) always part of a standard UNIX/Linux distribution. However, if for some reason you need to install them manually, they are available on-line:

GNU Make
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
GNU Debugger (GDB)

You may also want to use a unit-testing framework (though it is not required that you do so). If so, one very simple framework (that consists of a single header file) is:

minunit

2 Documentation Tools

This course will use Doxygen to generate documentation from annotated source code. It is available at:

Doxygen

3 Other Tools

There are, not surprisingly, many other tools for C/C++ developers. For more information, see:
