Given that it's Emacs you're asking about the answer is inevitably "yes".

I incline towards vi so can't tell you the Emacs way of doing it 
(although I have absolutely no doubt there is one), but you could always 
run Emacs in one window and do your compiles in another.  In any case, 
once you progress beyond a trivial program you're going to want to use 
make to ensure that all necessary compiles are done each time you change 
a file.
