You need --with-x to get an X gui.
Here is what I use:
./configure --prefix=/opt/emacs-${emacs_version} \
--with-x \
--with-xpm \
--with-jpeg \
--with-tiff \
--with-gif \
--with-png \
--with-rsvg \
--with-xft \
--with-libotf \
--with-sound \
--with-x-toolkit=no \
--without-toolkit-scroll-bars \
--x-includes=/usr/X11/include \
--x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib \
&& make \
&& make install
Of course, if you want some specific X toolkit, you will use something
else than no there.
