Thanks David!  More great stuff and many points to follow-up on.  Thank
you and thanks to all who have thoughtfully chimed-in on this!!!

There are a whole lot of ways to go about this.  If you are doing
low-level C stuff, GNU C/C++ compiler is perfect, along with Make
files.  If you want an IDE to do more complicated stuff with unit
testing and such, Netbeans IDE with the C/C++ plugin is fine.

Android code is Java, but the build/test environment is what makes it
stranger than just plain Java.  All the same, some people just use Ant
to build and the Android SDK from Google to build.  Personally, I use
the free version of IntelliJ IDE just because I don't think mobile
development is any fun when stuck doing everything manually.

iOS code is Objective-C, but you'll have a hard time doing anything
without the entire Cocoa/Cocoa Touch and the lower level NextStep (NS)
Foundation Object libraries.  Gotta get a Mac to avoid pulling your hair
out there.

I still believe Google should've gone with a good C++ development
environment for Android.  At least they would've avoided getting sued by
Oracle (IBM 2?).  Good luck.

        Richard,

        I suspect your asking about a development environment more than
        about
        a compiler.

        If you're thinking of something like MS Visual C++, that is a
        full IDE
        - Integrated Development Environment.

        It's been too many years since I was a real dev for me to
        recommend a
        IDE for C development.

        Maybe update the subject line and repost.
