Don't replace but do have both.
Keep Ubuntu emacs on /usr/bin/emacs. Perhaps reinstall that package.
Kepp your compiled emacs on /usr/local/bin/emacs or
/usr/local/bin/my-emacs or $HOME/bin/emacs
You need to run the configure script appropriately.
I did configure my emacs-30 from source code using:
'./configure' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g' 'CC=/usr/bin/gcc-13'
'--with-native-compilation' '--with-json'
'--enable-link-time-optimization' '--with-x-toolkit=gtk3'
'--program-suffix=-trunk'
adapt that command to your tastes and settings.
On Linux, choosing between old emacs and youre new one is mostly a
matter of
configuring your window manager
defining appropriate GNU bash (or Unix shell) functions or aliases to
run your emacs or Ubuntu emacs
setting a correct $PATH ; mine (set in ~/.zshrc since my shell is
zsh.org)
$HOME/.opam/default/bin:$HOME/bin:$HOME/scripts:/usr/local/bin:$HOME/.opam/default/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
NB. My pet free software project is the RefPerSys inference engine on
https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/ - contributors are welcome.
