For writing a SANE backend, you don't need an IDE. Just a shell, a
compiler and an editor. Write code in the editor and run "make" to
build it. Using more capable editors may make your life easier, however.

Depends on what you mean by "debug"? Which program do you want to debug?
If you want to listen to what the Windows scanner driver does, look here:
