I also tried it Zed's way:
Code:
sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-gtk
cd /opt
sudo cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
sudo cvs up -Pd -r XFT_JHD_BRANCH
sudo ./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-xft=yes --prefix=/usr
sudo make bootstrap && make
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/emacs
sudo ln -s /opt/emacs/src/emacs /etc/alternatives/emacs
Now I got two emacs on my system. One is /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot-gtk. This is from the Ubuntu repository, it's version is 22.0.50.1. Then I have /opt/emacs/src/emacs from cvs, version 22.0.50.2. Doesn't seem to make a big difference version number wise. The latter has a much uglier gui than the 'official' one. What's going on here? Do I somehow have to configure it's looks?
