help needed by newbie....

hi guys...
i really new to linux.... and i got a question to ask... hope you guys could help me with it....

its like this.... i want to compile a windows c++ application in linux.... i understand that i could use gcc to do it.....
but when i type gcc -x c++ test.cpp amost 400 errors came out....
i know that theres a difference in coding c++ in windows n linux... but is there anyway i could compile the application so that its compatible with linux without changing the codes? e.g any software i can use to covert windows application to linux so that it will work on linux?

thanks for the help....

As far as I know, there's not. The code written for windows applications is much more different then linux. For example try to call a windows API call under linux, would that work?

Hope this helps,
