C for the ARM is nontrivial. You have 2 routes, pay a LOT of $$$ for a commercial toolkit such as Keil, Renaissance, etc.
Or try a free toolkit, and wade thru tons of online hints, most of which will be sorta out of date and not applicable until you get something working. This could take you weeks. Now I did this about 5 years ago so things may have changed.
Also doing toolchains and crosscompilers is my day job, so I knew how to do all the ugly under the hood stuff to get codesourcery+stm32 free stuff to work.
A quick google search 'stm32 programming' turns up a 100 different things now.
The stm32 Discovery boards have links to tools, you could search that.
I see mikroe.com has a stm32 compiler for $299, I have used their PIC tools 5-8years ago to good effect. Glad to see them still working on tools.
If you do all this, you will come to appreciate the magic of(and hard work put into) arduino.
