sudo apt-get install build-essential

You now have an ANSI standard c++ compiler you can use in CLI:

g++ helloworld.cpp

for example. The default binary is a.out

you can also use anjuta if you prefer a gui environment to code.

As actionparsnip already mentioned, Anjuta is an IDE for C and C++. Eclipse and NetBeans support C++ through plugins. I'm not familiar with how good support these IDEs offer specifically for C++, so if you want to explore more, you could try searching for "c++" or "ide" in the Software Center and experimenting to see what suits your needs best.

For getting involved with Ubuntu development, take a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved

Can you help with this problem?
