GVim .vimrc Help

[nickatron]

This is my .vimrc so far:
set nu

filetype indent on
set autoindent

map <F5> :call CompileRunGpp()<CR>
func! CompileRunGpp()
exec "w"
exec "!g++ % -o %<.exe"
exec "!./%<.exe"
endfunc
Is there a way to make my program run in a new terminal window instead of
inside GVim?

Have a look at the documentation of your console. Eg for xterm:
xterm -e watch ls -l

You may want to background it..

I have no idea what that does. All it did for me is open a window called
watch and listed items in my home folder. I'm very new to linux and gvim
btw.

Yes. You got it. You asked for running an application in an external
terminal, didn't you?

On linux you have to learn about both: man and info.
Eg man xterm then /-e n n will jump to the description of the -e flag.
