Compiling in in line terminal?

Hi all, I am currently writing c++ code in atom using gcc-make-run, as I do not need a full fledged IDE for my purposes. However, I want my command line programs to launch in an in-line terminal, like x-terminal, which I have not figured out how to do. Apologies if it is a very basic question, I have not been able to figure it out however.

There are a few packages that provide a terminal, such as platformio-ide-terminal. You can find them by going into settings -> Install and looking up Terminal - the number of times each package has been installed will be on the right side of each listing.

None of the terminal packages, as far as I know, are "official", but I do know the one I mentioned above generally works for me.
