That depends upon what libraries your C++ code uses. If it uses 
Windows-specific libraries, any GUI libraries, they are obviously not 
available on Linux.

If your C++ code uses only the standard C library and only the C++ STL, it 
should compile and run on Linux with minimum fuss, unless, without your 
knowledge or awareness, you are using any Microsoft-specific perversions of 
standard C library calls or C++ STL, in your code.
