Are you sure it says "readonly"? When I try to modify the quickfix
window, the error is "E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is
off". To get around that, just ":set modifiable".
If the problem is that you're getting messages from make that aren't
errors, the solution is to fix your 'errorformat'. See
:help errorformat
I use this,
setlocal errorformat+=%-G%.%#
to set the last entry in 'errorformat' to ignore any string not
matched previously. See
:help efm-ignore
