Running on Ubuntu 12.04 a project written in c++11 in MS Visual Studio on Windows

Question

I have written a project (consisting of several cpp and h files) in MS Visual Studio 2015 on Windows but I need to run it on Ubuntu. Is there any way I can do this? I tried by simply witting $ g++ -std=c++0x *.cpp but I get a lot of errors:

But it all worked without an error on VS.

We can't help you with errors alone; we'd need to see some code where you're getting the errors. It seems many of your errors are similar though — kmdreko, May 27 '17 at 05:08
Ubuntu 12.04 sounds like model 2012, so its default compiler might not implement what other compilers had in 2015. — Bo Persson, May 27 '17 at 05:10

`sorry, unimplemented` means you need a newer version of `g++` — Ben Voigt, May 27 '17 at 05:21
Thanks a lot for your help! I am very new to Ubuntu and this is the version that my project has to work on. What version of g++ should I install? I tried with 4.7 and it has some improvements but it still has errors. — tokyo, May 27 '17 at 05:30

Ubuntu 12.04 ships with GCC 4.6.3. This very old version does not implement some C++11 features. You can find out which features are available on C++0x Support in GCC 4.6. As you can see from this list »Non-static data member initializers« is simply not implemented, which is exactly what the compiler is telling you.

Better use a more recent compiler (GCC ≥ 4.8.1), or even better, update your OS! Otherwise this question should be migrated to https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/

I do not have an option of updating OS but i could update g++. What version do you suggest? – tokyo May 27 '17 at 05:31
@tokyo It is in my answer. At least version 4.8.1, but if you can, take the latest which is 7.1. – Henri Menke May 27 '17 at 05:37
@tokyo There is also a [PPA for GCC](https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test) if you do not want to compile from source. – Henri Menke May 27 '17 at 05:38
Ok! I just updated to 5.4.1.. Now I only get some enum errors which I will try to solve.. If I fail I will try the newest version of g++! Thank you! – tokyo May 27 '17 at 05:38
Ermm, don't know what that is but I will look into it! Thanks! – tokyo May 27 '17 at 05:39
