Subject: 26.0.60; compilation mode -vs- messages from make
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 22:34:10 -0600

I'm using an Emacs built from the emacs 26 branch.
I have GNU make 4.2.1.

When I compile, if I get an error, make also prints this, e.g.:

make: *** [Makefile:1928: breakpoint.o] Error 1


In the *compilation* buffer, the "*** [Makefile:" text is highlighted
red.

When I next-error, Emacs will ask me:

Find this error in (default *** [Makefile): ~/gdb/build/gdb

However, this sort of error is basically never interesting, as it's not
a bug in the Makefile; it is just make reporting which rule
failed... but I already know which rule failed from the earlier
messages.

I think it would be an improvement if compilation mode ignored these
messages.

Tom

On the trunk, I get:

callint.c:895:13: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Makefile:402: recipe for target 'callint.o' failed
make[1]: *** [callint.o] Error 1

and Emacs doesn't ask me for anything when next-error-ing to the file.
(This is on the trunk.)  Are you still seeing this problem?

Hm...  well, I guess it's mostly not interesting, but I could see that
some people would find it interesting sometimes...

More information was requested, but none was given within 15 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug as unreproducible.

If this is still an issue, please reopen the bug report.
