Does anyone know a good C++ compiler for Mac?

I want to learn C++, and have a Mac OS X Tiger. Are there any good compilers I can download off the internet for free? I want something like NetBeans or JCreater, but for C++ and not Java.

Does anyone know a good C++ compiler for Mac?
You can use Xcode (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xco... to compile C++, C, Java, and a variety of other things. I also believe it comes with Mac OS X Tiger (it's made by Apple, but if it doesn't come on your Mac check out the first site). Take a look at this article:

Good luck, C++ is a hard language.

Reply:Yeah, use Xcode. It's on your Tiger installation DVD.
Reply:The Mac comes with GCC - the GNU C and C++ compiler. However, for developing software, you'll probably want to install the developer applications from the Tiger CD that came with your Mac - they're not installed by default.
