Personally I use a shell script "mr" and run that instead of "make"
from M-x compile, it does a compile and runs if successful.  You get
compile errors and program output both in the compilation buffer.

If you really want to know in elisp when M-x compile finishes, have a
look at makeinfo-compile in makeinfo.el which does that sort of thing,
but it's not too pretty.
