Installing C++ in three easy steps:

Download MinGW — (Only for Windows) Install MinGW basic tools, the G++ compiler and the MinGW make.
Download Eclipse — I usually download the Java enterprise edition because it has a lot of stuff from the beginning.
Eclipse CDT plugin — The plugin will enable you to use C++ within Eclipse. Use Eclipse's built-in software updater.

Development environments

Eclipse — Can be used for Java, C/C++, PHP and a lot of other programming languages.
Cocoa or Carbon — (Max OS only) Briefly explains the difference between the Eclipse Cocoa and Carbon downloads. Conclusion: Download Cocoa 32 bit.
Free Microsoft products — Microsoft offer a lot of their tools for free for students, including Visual Studio.
Notepad ++ — (Only for Windows) A good plain-text editor.

You might encounter a problem with Eclipse on the department server. Please look at this website (thanks to Anna) for a solution:
Binary not found
You should look at the first comment (scroll down a bit) and not the primary solution.
After applying the flags in Eclipse, you should right-click your program and choose "clean project"
