    The source code that you write can potentially be compiled to run in Linux (as long as you don't use Windows-only libraries) but the exe files that VC++ generates will not run natively on a Linux system.

    You may be able to get away with it in WINE. If it needs runtime DLLs, then download them and install them under WINE, and it should work... hopefully.
