If you want to stay inside emacs you should learn (at least) two commands. The first is 'M-x compile'. This will prompt you for a command to compile (default is 'make -k' - can be changed) the program. The output from the compiler will be directed to another buffer. You can use 'C-x `' to jump to the next error. To debug your C++ program in emacs you can use 'M-x gdb' to start the GNU debugger. For debugging, it might be easier to work with xxgdb or ddd. Both these are Debian packages. Remember to compile with -g. -- .elOle.
