I would like xCode for C++ programming on my mac but it is a snow leopard and the version in the app store is only for lion and above. Is there a way to get xCode without paying $30 for lion or becoming an apple developer?

You have more than double the required reputation to fix that yourself, @Just. – Rob Kennedy Dec 15 '11 at 22:30

@RobKennedy If I would fix it, chances are that the OP wouldn't even notice it ;) – JustSid Dec 16 '11 at 00:03

Visit the Apple Developer Website. There you can download a version Xcode v4.2 for Snow Leopard.

You can download XCode 3 from the apple developer centre if you sign in with a free developer account.

Xcode is on your Snow Leopard DVD. The version of Xcode that comes with the Snow Leopard DVD should be good enough for C++ programming. You can also go to connect.apple.com to download newer versions of Xcode that run on Snow Leopard.

Paying $30 for Lion or getting a free ADC account are the only ways to legally get the current version. As Mark Syzmczyk mentions, you will also have a copy on your Snow Leopard DVD that will develop Objective-C and C++ software perfectly well with the OS X SDK it was shipped with.
