Build and run C++ code on different version of Linux and glibc

问题

Before asking the question I want to clarify that I am an Android developer with no experience of Linux and C/C++ programming. The only way I know to build a C project on Linux is through Eclipse but given a pointer or details on doing it other way I will not hesitate. So something in the question below might look awkward.

I have an issue where I compiled a cpp project and made executable on Ubuntu 12.04 using Eclipse Indigo. It runs fine here. Now I have to use the same executable on a RH server where I get the error: lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

I searched internet and using command ldd --version found that glibc version on my dev machine is 2.15 and on server is 2.12. Also the gcc version on my machine is 4.6.3 and on server is 4.4.6.

How can I make it run on server? I went thought of installing other version of glibc on my machine and build it with reference to this question: Multiple glibc libraries on a single host. But I do not understand what is going on here.

I can think of 2 ways of doing this either build the project such that the executable includes all the needed files with it or build it in a way that it runs on older version of library.

Please try to provide as much details to answer or at least a pointer to understand it, given my inexperience on the platform.
