Emacs 23.1.50.2 icons

Emacs 23.1.50.2 icons

[Ross A. Laird]

I have followed the instructions in this list (and the org-mode list) to
compile emacs myself on my Ubuntu Intrepid system. I now have two
versions:

Self-compiled 23.1.50.2
Ubuntu snapshot 23.0.91.1 

The (older) Ubuntu snapshot package has a much better looking icon bar
and menu bar. The (newer) self-compiled version looks like it's using
gtk1 widgets and menu text (which are ugly indeed). On the other hand,
the newer version seems to handle composite windows better (the dialog
boxes, for example, seem to be composted).

I assume that this is a compilation issue. Can I get the nice-looking
menus and icon bar compiled into the new version?

Thanks.

Ross

By using Help menu -> Send Bug Report… you are asked for some subject  
and then a *mail* buffer is created. Here you can see details of the  
way GNU Emacs was compiled.

You can also try to find out which files are loaded into the dumped  
executable. Finally, by putting "--eval
'(defadvice load (before debug-log activate) (message "(Tipp von Kai  
G) Lade jetzt: %s" (ad-get-arg 0)))'" on command line when you launch  
GNU Emacs you'll get in *Messages* buffer a list of files it loads,  
which might reveal some Debian/Ubuntu specialties…

The output of configure should tell you if there were any libraries
not found (gtk I'm guessing, and possibly png and svg). The
information is there in config.log as well, but not in as easily
readable form, so its probably best to run ./configure again and read
the last bit of output that summarizes what was and wasn't found on
your system.
