How to direct output from make to a file?

[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I am compiling a C++ program and it has a lot of errors so that I cannot scroll to see the first one. Is it possible to direct the output from make to a file so that I can look at it? I tried make > logfile or make | more and these do not work.

Thanks.

Thanks I tried and it gives:

ni 8% make 1> no-error.log 2> errors.log
Ambiguous output redirect

Am I doing something wrong?

Code:
make >log-file 2>&1
or, to page it,
Code:
make 2>&1 | less

I've always liked this:

Code:
make | tee make.log
