M-x compile will offer to run make for you; you can change it to some other command if you like, obviously.

The syntax highlighting depends a bit on which version of Emacs you are using. Probably the simplest way to find the right variable and mode is to run M-x customize and look for "faces" options, specifically "global font lock". Or simply try M-x global-font-lock-mode if you just want to try it once.
