`shell-command' is a synchronous process, so you have just to wait it
finish.May be just add a message to tell you that the compile process is
started:

(defun update-cvs-dir-and-compile ()
  "Cvs update current dir and compile it."
  (interactive)
  (let ((dir default-directory))
    (cvs-update dir nil)
    (while (not (equal cvs-mode-line-process "exit"))
      (sit-for 1))
    (message "Wait compiling %s..." dir)
    (shell-command "make")))

But if you want to run the compile process asynchronous,
you have to use `start-process' instead of `shell-command' and set a
sentinel on this process like this:

(progn
  (start-process "my-compil" nil "sleep"
               "12")
  (set-process-sentinel (get-process "my-compil")
                        #'(lambda (process event)
                            (message "Process:%s State:%s" process event))))

Replace "sleep" with "make" and "12" with make args ;-)

NOTE:If you have more than one arg to the make command, it's may be
convenient to use apply on start-process.
