I feel you are doing it first time on linux,
in *NIX environment while programming anything it will not make everything readily available as in MS IDE, so you need to compile, link properly by guiding the compiler and linker with appropriate options.
e.g.
if you are compiling you must show the include path suppose the prog name is a.cxx

       gcc -c a.cxx -I<paths of all your header files> -I<paths of all your header files>... -I <> < Followed by Compiler flags>
       gcc -o a.exe -L<libraries which contains the definition of all your called functions> -L <libraries which contains the definition of all your called functions> -Wl,<Linker options> -Wl,<> <Flags for Linker>

This way you will be able to finish your compilation-> linking to final executable.
If you are still getting the error please paste the error here I can help you for that perticular error, which may be a file inclusion or linker error.
