Makefiles, you will need to learn how to read and write. Don't start 
with something as difficult though. Also, don't modify cryptsetup itself,
use the library and start with somethign simple. You can, for example, 
start by tryingi to understand and modify the things in the misc. 
directory.

IDE? Why would you use an IDE? I use emacs as editor, that is enough.
This is not Java, were an IDE is almost needed because there is
so much syntactic noise.

The old wy: Code-embedded debug instratctions. You may also
try DDD.

Don't go that way, see above.

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it
so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to
make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first
method is far more difficult.  --Tony Hoare
