I have the following in my Makefile:

deneme: ${ALL_FILES}
	${DMD} ${SOURCES} ${LIBRARIES} -of$@ ${OPTIONS}
	./$@

The last line there executes the program that has just been built.

As an aside, if you do C-u,M-x,compile then you can interact with the 
program's standard input as well.

You can set any key binding that you like in Emacs. I've never bothered 
to change it though: A quick M-x,M-p brings up the last compile command 
and I just hit Enter. (M-p is a key binding of mine that works better 
with the Dvorak keyboard, which means "up".)
