There are several compilers that can be used to build Blender. If you are on a Linux or Unix-like system you may already have a compiler installed, probably gcc. On other platforms you may need to acquire them seperately.
[edit] Microsoft Visual C/C++ Compiler
Simon Clitherow wrote a good tutorial on installing the free compiler toolkit from Microsoft: Microsoft VC++ Toolkit 2003
[edit] Debug tools
The debug tools that come with the .NET Framework SDK version 1.1 can handle only managed code, so after a search I found a very good debugger from Microsoft: www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
[edit] GCC
The GCC compiler comes with most Linux distribution and is available for many Unix-platforms.
