You are on the right lines, but the problem is that error messages get
printed to stderr (not stdout) and DOS will only let you redirect
stdout.  Unlike a Unix shell, such as BASH, which would let you
redirect either or both.

You can do what you want in DOS using the redir utility:

redir -eo -o out.txt make
