Hi all,

Many thanks in advnce for any help.

Can someone please point me towards a compiler on the web for C++ that
I can use with a mac, preferably a free one? I have a Powerbook and
would like to learn C++ when I can get a spare few minutes each day.

Preferably I would like to use a GUI-based one if available, but I'm
sure you will know more about that than I do.

Thanks again,
macnoob

C doesn't know what a Mac is, nor a Powerbook, nor C++. Maybe you would
like to try a group relating to at least one of those three things.

Why would you want a GUI?

Look at the name of the group you have posted to then look at at the
language you are asking about. See? The two are different. Before
posting to comp.lang.c++ check their FAQ to see if it lists possible
compilers and whether such a question would be topical. Failing that a
Mac group would be a good place to look.

macnoob,

Try comp.lang.c++. The most recent version of the mac os is based on
unix, so they should be able to point you towards one.

Firstly, this is the C language group, not the C++ one
Secondly, specific tools are offtopic in both places
Lastly, any reasonably recent Mac can run gcc. For more info, ask in a
Mac and/or gcc group.
