You should give some context, too, such as the "configure" output
and/or the error output you've had.

The linked config.log doesn't mention any problems finding Perl,
but there are *many* missing build requirements. Meaning, you are
missing many -devel packages. It doesn't become clear whether you
want to ignore some plugins/features deliberately.

Where the configure script uses the pkg-config tool to test for
headers and libraries, Fedora packagers rely on special virtual "Provides"
in the package metadata to specify the needed packages.
For example:

  sudo dnf install 'pkgconfig(gpgme)'

would find and install the missing -devel package that is needed for
building software that uses GPGME.
