   Try compiling under emacs.  Do "ESC-x", then type compile in a
buffer that has a file in the same directory as your Makefile.  After
compilation, you can find the warnings and errors with "Ctrl-x `".
This not only shows you the warning, but opens the file at the line of
the warning or error.  Even before doing the latter, the warnings and
errors appear in red while the compiler command lines are in black.

   Emacs the ideal IDE :-).
