I can't run DevC++ though.. I used to love that.
Have you tried using Netbeans? It's an awesome, free IDE that you can use to write C, C++, Java, Ruby, Perl, and some other stuff. It looks like it's available for Mac OS X, I'm going to assume that that includes Leopard, right?

A lot of people swear by Eclipse, but I really hate that IDE. Netbeans is very suave though, so you might want to give it a look.

I actually use Eclipse and I always find things wrong with it. Stupid Eclipse.

Netbeans does C++? Hmmm... that's all kinds of awesome.

It depends if your mac has an Intel or PowerPC processor.

Then you can either partition your hard drive to dual boot OSX and Windows, or you can run emulation software.

If you have Leopard you can just run Boot Camp to partition. See here.

Okay, you have two options.

Dual boot: Dual booting will require that you partition your hard drive (split your hard drive into two parts). One part will run OS X (Apple's operating system) and one part will run Windows (Microsoft's operating system). All you need to do is run the Boot Camp program (it's in Applications) and follow the instructions. Basically, you're going to steal some GBs from the Macintosh drive and put them into the Windows drive. You'll need a Windows install CD.

Emulation: Allows you to run Windows within OS X (so basically it runs as a program). It probably won't run as fast as compared to the dual boot option.
