How do I export a C++ project on a windows PC and run it on a Linux one?

So I have just started learning C++ and I want to test my first program on Linux. Here is my program:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

#define ANSI_COLOR_RED     "\x1b[31m"
#define ANSI_COLOR_GREEN   "\x1b[32m"
#define ANSI_COLOR_YELLOW  "\x1b[33m"
#define ANSI_COLOR_BLUE    "\x1b[34m"
#define ANSI_COLOR_MAGENTA "\x1b[35m"
#define ANSI_COLOR_CYAN    "\x1b[36m"
#define ANSI_COLOR_RESET   "\x1b[0m"

using namespace std;



void main_header()
{
     printf (ANSI_COLOR_GREEN  "+---------------+---------------¦ " ANSI_COLOR_RESET  "\n");
     printf (ANSI_COLOR_GREEN  "+---------" ANSI_COLOR_RED " THE GENERAL "  "---------¦" ANSI_COLOR_RESET  "\n");
     printf (ANSI_COLOR_GREEN  "+---------------+---------------¦ " ANSI_COLOR_RESET  "\n");
}

int main()
{
    main_header();
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I am using Bloodshed to compile the program. After I have complied the program I upload it via FTP and execute dos2unix main.cpp . I then try and run the program but I get this error:

./main.cpp: line 12: using: command not found
./main.cpp: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./main.cpp: line 16: `void main_header()'

I have no idea why this error is appearing. Anyone have any ideas?

Instead of compiling and running the code, you are running the source code directly.

What you want to do instead is the following:

g++ main.cpp -o main
./main

You still need to compile the program on Linux!

On Linux # is the shell script comment character, so the first line interpreted as a shell command is using namespace std.
