The free version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
The new Visual Studio Express 2012 is capable of doing the same projects that Visual Studio 2010 Express did like, WPF, WinForms, Visual Basic Class Libraries, console, C#, class libraries, Win32 projects, and apps for C++. It is also possible to combine C#, C++ and projects belonging to Visual Basic into one solution so that it is easy to write one application using any language available. In the end, it is possible to round trip projects with the SP1 of Visual Studio 2012.
Analyzing codes:
A targeted set of code analysis works as it is added to the latest Visual Studio 2012 incorporated for Windows 8. For different projects of C++ the rules help in detecting the common coding errors like buffer overflows, null pointers dereferencing, the use of uninitialized variables or APIs being misused. Most errors like these can lead to potential vulnerabilities or even application crashes when errors are not fixed in time. For projects being managed, the application features rules that ensure clear object disposal, garbage collection and performance.
Testing of Unit:
The new Visual Studio Express 2012 was designed with the intention of making it easy to run and write project unit tests. To ensure that it is made possible, Visual Basic Express 2012 included the existing unit framework for Visual Basic and C# and the all new C++ unittest framework. It lets you write, debug and run unit tests directly on Visual Studio. There is also an inclusion of project Unit Test templates for you to commence on unit tests quickly.
The basic requirements:
Operating systems that are supported:
Architectures supported:
Minimum hardware necessities:
Data Connections:
In the earlier versions of the Express Products, the data source can be connected, but was limited to the files of database. Visual Studio Express made for Windows Desktop can support data sources of SQL server. For instance, in a Database explorer, individuals can navigate, connect, edit and query against object via the newest Windows Azure SQL and SQL Server 2012.
Features specific to languages:
The Windows Desktop version of Visual Studio 2012 features new VS library features and 2012 language. This includes await and async keywords in C++ AMP, C#, Visual Basic and improvised standards in C++ 11. Windows Desktop Express can be used with C# applications and Visual Basic in order to consider both platforms. Now it also includes 64-bit version of C++, libraries and cross compliers to build desktop applications (64-bit) without installing the older version of the Windows SDK. The new Visual Basic Express also features simpler control of source code, item tracking work, TFS provided automation.

Winbind component
Make sure you installed 'winbind' component with your distribution package manager.
This is needed for the -Zi option of the compiler, and other mechanisms that handle 'PDB' (Program Data Base) files.
Debian:
$ aptitude install winbind
Fedora:
$ sudo dnf install samba-winbind*.x86_64 samba-winbind*.i686
Never run wine as root (su, sudo)! Wine doesn't require to be run as root!
You will screw your WINEPREFIX and possibly other things up. If you have run Wine as root you need to:
and then run winecfg to set Wine folder structure back up. If you used winetricks script as root you might also need to:
Again: Just run wine as regular user and all should be fine.
