Autotools with SUBDIRS

[novns]

I got the "Matched file does not exist" error when failed source file is located in subdirectory specified in automake's SUBDIRS variable.

Example of output from make:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/novns/tmp/testmake'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/novns/tmp/testmake/src'
  CC       testmake.o
testmake.c: In function 'main':
testmake.c:3:5: error: unknown type name 'error'
     error is here!
     ^

Exact error:
Matched file does not exist: /home/novns/tmp/testmake/testmake.c

Hmm not sure how to handle this. I don't think a regex can cope with this issue.

Possible (if merged) noseglid/atom-build#398 can help give the base for solving this. The matching function could do more intelligent parsing (e.g finding the Entering directory... and interpreting subsequent files from that directory).

It's definitely possible, here's an example using this exact output:

As a temporary solution one can apply the bad and ugly fix to build/lib/error-matcher.js:

let file = 'src/' + match.file;

Could one try the matched relative path with the root of every loaded project (=directory)? So one could add some sub-directories to the project view and then find the matched file.
