Debian distro:
ARM compiler:
MinGW windows cross compiler:
CMake can also generate the native MS Studio nmake build scripts on windows. The MSDN Academic Alliance offers students the full developer studio, OS, and MSDN access licenses. Contact your schools club liaison to request membership for your team.
Or... a few lines like this in a Debian terminal: sudo apt-get install arduino arduino-core eclipse-platform eclipse-cdt cmake kernel-package libncurses5-dev subversion git libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev build-essential

I've used Dev-C++ on Windows with some success. But yeah, you really need to learn the difference between a compiler and a cross-compiler. To spell it out: Dev-C++ uses a regular compiler that targets the same machine you are running it on. You mentioned embedded systems, implying that you need a cross-compiler, one that targets a different processor to the one it is running on. Tell us what processor you're planning to use, and we could offer some suggestions.
Most "C" compilers support C++ nowadays. Even the Arduino works with C++.

I should have been more specific, i need to write some programs that only take in through the keyboard and print to the screen, for that id like one like the previous suggestions, Dev-C++ and such.
but i have and will use the native STM32 IDE for my real programming (to boards that will fly), for the reasons steve and Daedronous raise.
So does visual studio c++ express plus the added benefit of a user interface not made in the past century.
I can understand not wanting to pay all the $$$ they ask for the full visual studio and opting for a free tool, but the express edition is also completely free, not cripple ware in any way and arguably has the best user interface out there.
This is probably why Atmel decided to use the visual studio IDE engine for their last AVR studio tools.
