Estou tentando compilar a última versão do emacs no Ubuntu 16.04.
Depois de instalar as bibliotecas que eu pude pensar, o script ./configure gera o seguinte:
Where should the build process find the source code? .
What compiler should emacs be built with? gcc -g3 -O2
Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes
(Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.)
Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers? no
Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation? no
What window system should Emacs use? x11
What toolkit should Emacs use? LUCID
Where do we find X Windows header files? Standard dirs
Where do we find X Windows libraries? Standard dirs
Does Emacs use -lXaw3d? yes
Does Emacs use -lXpm? yes
Does Emacs use -ljpeg? yes
Does Emacs use -ltiff? yes
Does Emacs use a gif library? yes -lgif
Does Emacs use a png library? yes -lpng12
Does Emacs use -lrsvg-2? yes
Does Emacs use cairo? no
Does Emacs use imagemagick? yes
Does Emacs support sound? yes
Does Emacs use -lgpm? yes
Does Emacs use -ldbus? yes
Does Emacs use -lgconf? yes
Does Emacs use GSettings? yes
Does Emacs use a file notification library? yes -lglibc (inotify)
Does Emacs use access control lists? yes -lacl
Does Emacs use -lselinux? yes
Does Emacs use -lgnutls? yes
Does Emacs use -lxml2? yes
Does Emacs use -lfreetype? yes
Does Emacs use -lm17n-flt? yes
Does Emacs use -lotf? yes
Does Emacs use -lxft? yes
Does Emacs directly use zlib? yes
Does Emacs have dynamic modules support? no
Does Emacs use toolkit scroll bars? yes
Does Emacs support Xwidgets (requires gtk3)? no
O que eu preciso instalar para cobrir os quatro itens restantes? Especialmente o último seria valioso.
PS. Este script levou-me ao ponto em que estou agora: link
Com base nos comentários, consegui que o Xwidgets e o Cairo funcionassem. Aqui está o que eu fiz:
Instale bibliotecas gtk3:
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
Configure com
./configure --with-cairo --with-xwidgets --with-x-toolkit=gtk3
Os menus parecem muito mais agradáveis agora! Obrigado!
