Installing libpng gets error: C compiler cannot create executables

Question

I'm currently trying to install pokefirered for ROM-Hacking following the INSTALL.md file in the repository. I've already install devKitPro and msys2 and am currently trying to install libpng. I ran the included commands:

tar xf libpng-1.6.37.tar.xz
cd libpng-1.6.37
./configure --prefix=/usr
make check
make install

but I get an error after ./configure --prefix=/usr:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
configure: loading site script /etc/config.site
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/thepe/Downloads/libpng-1.6.37':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

Here is the config file for debugging details:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by libpng configure 1.6.37, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

I've already tried checking my current GCC installation that I already installed on my computer before download MSYS2 and devKitPro, but I still cant find the problem.
