You don't even need to configure it in many cases. I've been doing it with numerous languages in Emacs, and I think I had to configure it (with a regex) maybe once for a compiler whose output it didn't already recognise.

The syntax compilers use to indicate filename and error location are similar among compilers, and generally quite unambiguous anyway, so in many cases no configuration is needed. A small list of regexes built in to the editor is enough.
