bug#27516: 25.2.50; Building master branch on MSW fails because of gnutls and other reasons...

[Vincent Belaïche]

Please ignore the Emacs instance from which I am making this report, the
report concerns building a new instance.

When trying to build the latest on master branch, I get this error:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
     gnutls
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
     --with-gnutls=no
as options to configure
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

I am using configure with the following command line:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
  ./configure --prefix=c:/Nos_Programmes/GNU/Emacs \
                          --without-jpeg \
                          --without-tiff \
                          --without-gif \
                          --without-png \
                          --with-gnutls=no
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

So I am surprised. Also without `--with-gnutls=no' I get the same error
message, although I have put under my mingw directory the gnutls binary
from sourceforge EZWinPorts, but configure does not detect its presence.

Having or not --with-gnutls=no does not change the outcome as far as
error message is concerned. I am a bit confused because in the configure
--help, `--without-gnutls' is mentioned instead of `--with-gnutls=no'. I
tried `--without-gnutls' and the compilation went through. So this is an error 
in the message given by configure.


Well, when I am writing the the compilation went through, this is not up
to the end, because I got this later on:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
Loading 
c:/Programmes/installation/emacs-install/master/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el

make[2]: *** [bootstrap-emacs.exe] Error 1
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end  -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

Anyway, I would be quite happy to understand how to have gnutls linked
to, so that Emacs could use the builtin rather than a gnutls client which, I 
could not manage to get it
detected. A similar question for other image connected libraries (jpeg,
tiff, gif, png, imagemagick...).

VBR,
        Vincent.
