The standard error output from programs like DJGPP's gcc is not captured by Emacs. When compiling a C++ source file using gpp in Emacs, a compile error results in an abnormal exit code of 2, but the *Compilation* buffer does not show the exact errors. A similar issue
occurs when the `shell' is accessed; standard error output from GNU programs is not visible. When the same compilation is carried out using the Windows Command Prompt, the compilation errors do appear.
The operating system in use is Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition.
