Compiling for an Older OS version

[Abhishek Bisaria]

Hello,
Is there a way of compiling a C++ code on a newer version of Linux which would run on an older version.

My issue is that my application needs to run on a machine which has quite an older version of Linux than my computer. 
My last resort is to re-install Linux on my computer but that would take a lot of effort so I am trying to find an easier way.

Thanks
--Abhishek
