Any recommendations for C++ compiler and or environment on the Mac platform? Using Lion is preferred but Snow Leopard would be acceptable.
I am new to C++

If you make sure the Developer kit is installed (Install disc, extra
install disk, or download depending on OS) the command line ‘cc’ is
C++. In Terminal you can build things that run from a shell in
Terminal. If you want to build an Aqua program then you’ll need to
use Xcode from the Developer kit, but the C++ learning then becomes
just a part of the whole learning curve. The other option for a
program that runs in a GUI is to build it so that it will run in
X-Windows, which is the Unix GUI system. That would be compiled from
Terminal. There’s a lot of X stuff out there to get the basics from.

Yeah, I’d just use Xcode (in fact, I do, just not with C++. I don’t like C++).
Are you intending to develop for the Mac or other platforms as well? What’s your goal with learning C++?

A couple of simple iPad applications.

Then you’ll need to use Xcode anyway. It’s free, so why not?
Also, you should consider learning Objective C. It’s more the “native language” of programming iOS.

Thanks, I will start with Objective C.
I am a legacy fortran programmer so we will see if an old dog can learn a new trick?

Coming from Fortran you may get confused by object-oriented programming if you’re not familiar. It took me a couple of tries before I understood that paradigm. There are some good books and docs around about it though, including ones that cover Objective-C.
