Log2errmsg, a LaTeX log analyserDick GruneThe program log2errmsg reads a LaTeX log, extracts the first error message from it, and formats it as a one-line CC/Unix error message suitable for emacs, vi, etc. It is best applied in the Makefile like this:
pdflatex XXX.tex || log2errmsg <XXX.log
This way log2errmsg is called only when the call of pdflatex fails. Download the sources (in C) and test material
