Hi,

That's a good idea.

I find the easiest way of parsing 'make' output is to use Vim's error list which saves the hassle of trying to search it manually.  It can be used even when you are doing the editing in a different text editor.

1.  Start Vim ("vim") and type ":make" and press Enter to execute the 'make' command in the current location

2.  When the output stops, either when make finishes or if you press <Control>+C, you will be taken back to Vim which will take you to the first warning or error message ouput by the compiler.  For simple projects this works well.

3.  To browse the errors from the last make, type ":cope" and press Enter to open the error window, and you can browse it using the Up/Down arrow keys

4.  To jump quickly to the first fatal error that causes the compilation to fail, type "/err" and press Enter (which almost always works since the guilty line will begin with the text "error:"

Steps 1 and 3,4 can be bound to a handy shortcut key combination (I use the function keys) to make the process even quicker.
