I use CodeWright with the Hi-Tech compilers (versions 8.x), and have no
problem catching the compiler and linker errors. I use a build command line
of 

  make -f%y.mak >%x%y.err 2>&1

Similarly, the compile command line is

  make -B -f%y.mak %r.obj >%x%y.err 2>&1

(CodeWright substitutes %y with the project name, %x with its path, %r with
the file name of the file currently being edited.)

The "2>&1" part has the effect that both stdout and stderr get sent to the
.err file. The make file does nothing unusual; it simply calls the Hi-Tech
compiler with the appropriate command lines for compiling or linking. (The
option "-B" forces a recompile in the compilation command line, even if the
file should be up to date.) After the make call returns, there is a .err
file with the compiler/linker output that can be parsed.
