Well, let' see:
a) Why on earth are you doing this? What could "the kitchen sink" of all
editors possible *not* have pre-compiled into it that would cause you to
want to re-compile emacs? The packaged binary works wonders (if you like
Emacs), and there are a bazillion addons if the core-set wasn't enough for
you.
b) Since you don't bother saying what the errors were, how the hell can
anyone help?

If you are unfamiliar with compiling applications you couldn't have picked
a harder application.

That statement is contradictory. I suggest you install the binary, and
stop this idiocy.
