MS's COMMAND.COM can't redirect stderr, and stderr is where gcc and make
send error messages. To solve this, use the redir utility like so:

redir -o output.txt -eo make

or put a different command in place of make. This redirects output to
output.txt, then redirects stderr to stdout, effectively sending both
stdout and stderr to the file output.txt.

Is this a DOS-based C/C++ compiler other than DJGPP? If so, what I have
written above may not be true, and you won't have the redir utility 
anyway.
