The error message parser expects error messages to be of the form

  filename:linenumber: error message

So if your compiler uses a different format: bad luck. In the
HEAD branch, messages are detected by regexps, so it's very
easy to consider different compilers. For example, gcc output
is matched with "([^: \t]+):([0-9]+):.*", jade output is 
matched with "[a-zA-Z]+:([^: \t]+):([0-9]+):[0-9]+:[a-zA-Z]:.*".
