I'm looking for a text editor, much like TextMate (www.macromates.com) on Mac, but I want it to have a built-in compiler.

This IDE is the best choice for Mac users. Probably there are so many programmers who prefer to use a Mac. And again this IDE like the previous one (Visual Studio) is not only for C/C++ developers, there are many other popular languages supported. This IDE is the best choice for Mac users. Probably there are so many programmers who prefer to use a Mac. And again this IDE like the previous one (Visual Studio) is not only for C/C++ developers, there are many other popular languages supported. Use MSBuild with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or a 3rd party toolset like CMake with Clang or mingw to build and debug your code right in the IDE. Benefit from a first-class CMake experience. Visual Studio Community for Mac. Free, fully-featured IDE for students, open-source and individual developers.
C++ Editors/Compiler for Mac (self.learnprogramming) submitted 2 years ago * by Mo0se69 Hello everyone, I'm starting a beginning programming class next week at my college and the language we're using is C++. Free C and C++ Compilers and IDE's for Win32, Win16, DOS32 and DOS, command line and GUI versions, tutorials, sample code, online updates, Standard Template Library, etc. Djgpp A port of the GNU compiler and programming tools to MS DOS.
Python Compiler For Mac
For example, I do not want an IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse. I'm looking for an editor where I can click 'Run' and it will compile my code and show me the results in a terminal.
I know of a text editor, which is TextMate's sister application for Windows, but it does not have a built-in compiler. I also do not want to install Cygwin for g++/gcc.

I use e which touts itself as TextMate for Windows - I wouldn't go quite that far, but it is good (it has the notion of bundles for different file types, lifted from TextMate).
It isn't free, but it's been worth the license fee.

It is based on Scintilla and is available under GPL.
Additionally I recommend downloading the MinGW port of GCC.

VIM!!!
And now I've had my VIM rant I'm going to rant some more.
TextMate doesn't have a built in compiler. I don't think you fully grok programming at any level yet. TextMate simply has 'bundles' that are configured to call the Apple XCode tools. AFIK there are bundles for pretty much everything you can think of. Some things (like perl, python, etc) are installed on the base system with Mac.
If you want a compiler on windows you'll either need the MS tools or Cygwin, MingW, Digital Mars (not free), etc. There is no such thing as an editor with a built in compiler - the compiler MAY have been bundled in a package with the editor/IDE however (Code::Blocks from memory packaged Mingw). I think you should try Cygwin since it comes with VIM and a compiler, just like you want.

It's going to be a steep learning curve, but have you tried Emacs ? It contains all the features of text mate and an IDE, if you know where to look. You can compile code at the push of a button, but you may have a few other things to get used to (like Ctrl-s is search, not save by default - but you can configure that - you may want to look at cua mode which will set some of the keys to the windows defaults ;)

I've always used EditPlus on windows and found it to be excellent in every way!
For Mac i use Smultron.

Textpad is pretty good. In fact if it finds a java JDK installs it creates shortcut keys that allow you to compile and run applets and java applications

As much as I love to see more threads with Programmer's Notepad links, this topic has been covered loads of times on StackOverflow, here's a sampling: Bitmap editor for mac.
As for getting compiling going, you can call your chosen toolchain in lots of different ways from most good text editors. If we say you want to do C++ development then at the most simple here is a set of steps you could take:

I don't get the 'built in compiler' demand - as far as I know there is no universal compiler :)
UltraEdit is not free but it has a plethora of different languages it supports.

Have you checked out Programmer's Notepad?
When I was in school for Java, the lovely teacher forced us to use a notepad to write the code, and we were suggested to use Programmer's Notepad.

Try Emacs. It's lightweight and extremely powerful with sane shortcuts. It will increase your productivity immensely. It can even cook your food!

You are asking for an editor that will allow you to compile and show the results in a terminal but is not an IDE?? Video editor for window or mac.
Anyway..
This is the most lightweight editor that can be connected to a compiler for Windows.

I use Komodo Edit. It has great support for XML, HTML, PHP, Python and other dynamic languages, and syntax highlighting for tons of other languages. The only con I can think of is the memory usage. Komodo is built in Python on the Mozilla platform, so it's not the lightest one around.

Source Insight is probabbly the best C/C++ editor in existence. It's also a really good C# editor.
It may not meet all your requirements, but you should check it out.
It really comes in handy when working with a large codebase.
It does not, however, have a built-in compiler.
But, you can download the Windows / .NET Framework SDK and hookup their command line compilers to Source Insight.
The only real downside is that it does not have a debugger. For debugging I would use Visual Studio (it has a very good debugger).

I used to use UltraEdit (mentioned in another answer), but earlier this year 'upgraded' to UEStudio, which is like a supercharged UltraEdit for programmers - includes built-in support for a variety of compilers and many, many other things. Details here: http://www.ultraedit.com/products/uestudio/differences.html
It's not free, but it's well worth what they ask for it. I had been using UltraEdit since 2001 and haven't felt the need to look at other editors outside of what IDM offer.
Of course, editors are like religion so.. :)

I'd give a vote for Sublime Text 2 - It uses many of the textmate bundles and has a vast plugin/package system with a package manager as well. It's become my default editor on every platform, Windows, osx and linux

Intype - http://intype.info/home/index.php
The main thing I like are the themes - I love working with Dark Pastels, which is the default theme if I'm not mistaken. It's missing some features I would love, like code-block collapsing, but development is on-going, and I can hope to see these in the future.
