Look for lines with the words:
     warning:
     Warning:
     error:
     Error:

Report at least the 3 lines before each such occurance and 10 or so lines
after it.

This command:
  grep -B 3 -A 10 -E -i '(warning|error):' < {{logfile}}
should do the selection automatically.

Asking _someone_else_ to rummage through a megabyte-plus of log because you
can't be bothered to look for the 'magic words' that actually identify the
problem _is_ an unreasonable imposition on their kindness.

Ifi, on the other hand,  you _don't_know_how_ to recognize an error message 
in a build log, you should, bluntly, *not* be building software for your 
system.  Either use pre-build binaries, or hire someone who -does- know what
they're doing to build/install custom software for you.
