assuming you've got cvs installed, this is how I build mine on linux:

$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
$ cd emacs
$ make clean 
$ ./configure --with-xpm --with-tiff --with-jpeg --with-png --with-rsvg \
  --with-x-toolkit=gtk && make bootstrap && make -j 4

XFT (anti-aliased fonts) and unicode support is enabled by default. If
all that succeeds, test emacs with:

$ ./src/emacs

if that works: install

$ sudo install

you now have a new emacs in /usr/local/bin/emacs
