Hello,

I was able to build emacs-29.4 but 30.0.91 stops at the configure
script.

The following packages are on the amd64/x86_64 NetBSD 10.0_STABLE
system

cairo-1.18.0nb2 =    Vector graphics library with cross-device output support
gnutls-3.8.5nb3 =    Transport Layer Security library

A snippet of the output from configure reads

  checking for cairo >= 1.8.0... no
  configure: WARNING: cairo requested but not found.

  configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
       gnutls

This is how I call configure from the build directory in a file called configure-here

../30.0.91/configure --srcdir=/u/xxx/src/emacs/30.0.91 --localstatedir=/var --disable-autodepend --with-native-compilation --without-ns --without-rsvg --without-imagemagick --without-xaw3d --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --x-includes=/usr/X11R7/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R7/lib --with-x-toolkit=lu --prefix=/usr/local --build=x86_64--netbsd --host=x86_64--netbsd --infodir=/usr/pkg/info --mandir=/usr/pkg/man --enable-option-checking=yes 'CFLAGS=-O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/freetype2 -I/usr/pkg/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/pkg/include/gio-unix-2.0 -I/usr/pkg/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R7/include -I/usr/pkg/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/X11R7/include/libdrm' 'CPPFLAGS=-DTERMINFO -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/freetype2 -I/usr/pkg/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/pkg/include/gio-unix-2.0 -I/usr/pkg/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R7/include -I/usr/pkg/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/X11R7/include/libdrm' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/gcc13/lib -Wl,-zrelro -L/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/X11R7/lib -Wl,-R/usr/X11R7/lib'

That's the reason, right there: the configure script decided it
couldn't find GnuTLS installed whose version is at least 2.12.2:

> 167 checking for gnutls >= 2.12.2... no

AFAICT, Emacs 29.4 was making the same test, so there's some other
factor here at work.  Did something change wrt GnuTLS between the time
you built Emacs 29.4 and the time you tried to build 30.0.91?  Are you
sure you have the header files needed for developing programs with
GnuTLS?

In any case, please post config.log which was created by running the
configure script, it should tell the details regarding the failed
test.

And if worse comes to worst, you can always use the above advice
(although building Emacs without GnuTLS is not recommended).

Probably.  But I'd need to see the contents of your gnutls.pc file to
know for sure.

Here's the difference:

 Emacs 29.4:

> configure:15995: checking for gnutls >= 2.12.2
> configure:16002: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 2.12.2"

> configure:16019: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 2.12.2"
> configure:16022: $? = 0
> configure:16060: result: yes
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^
  It succeds.  By contrast, Emacs 30:

> configure:20577: checking for gnutls >= 2.12.2
> configure:20584: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 2.12.2"
> Package gnutls was not found in the pkg-config search path.

> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnutls.pc'

> Package 'gnutls' not found
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  It fails.

The pkg-content listing shows the gnutls.pc file:

    59 /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/gnutls.pc

But it looks like this file is not in the directory where pkg-config
looks.  So, as the configure script says, "Perhaps you should add the
directory containing `gnutls.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable".  Or maybe the file is there, but its contents is wrong or
corrupted or something.  Or maybe you installed a new version of
pkg-config, and that looks in different places.

In any case, you should make sure that the command

  $ pkg-config --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 2.12.2"

exits with zero status and no error messages.

Bottom line: this seems to be a problem with your system
configuration.

Good catch !!!

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this.  Possible cause is the pkgsrc
config state is messed up.  I get to the end of the configure script run
using

  env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig ../30.0.91/configure

and make completes. I'll next time try harder to read the config.log

On the pretest announcement the keyserver pgp.mit.edu works where
keys.openpgp.org fails for verifying the sigfile, btw.
