Thanks.  However, AFAICS the mingw-w64-x86_64-libtree-sitter package
provided by MSYS2 includes the library under the name
libtree-sitter-0.24.dll, whereas Emacs only knows to look for
libtree-sitter-0.dll.  Does installing this package provide
tree-sitter support for you?  Or did you need to rename the DLL to the
name Emacs looks for?  If users need to rename the DLL, we should tell
that in INSTALL and perhaps also README files.

By installing mingw-w64-x86_64-libtree-sitter, it fixed the configure issue.
I did not check whether tree-sitter works well after building emacs.exe successfully at that time.
I did not rename libtree-sitter-0.24.dll.


Just now, I confirm that tree-sitter major mode is not enabled when opening a C source file.
`ldd emacs.exe` does not contain dynamic link library libtree-sitter-0.24.dll.

I've now updated INSTALL.W64 and README.W32 on the emacs-30 branch
with this information, and also modified Emacs 30 to know about the
new naming scheme of libtree-sitter DLL as distributed by MSYS2 folks.

With that, I'm closing this bug.

If you rename the DLL to the name libtree-sitter-0.dll, tree-sitter
major modes should be enabled.

Alternatively, if you can build the latest emacs-30 branch of the
Emacs Git repository, it should know about libtree-sitter-0.24.dll.

That's normal, since Emacs loads the DLL dynamically.

after rename, open a C source file and check `c-h m` the major mode is still `c-mode` not `c-ts-mode`.

Build the latest commit https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-30&id=e14007ad631120a3f7521e503c8de86aca849bad
of branch eamcs-30 and with library name libtree-sitter-0.24.dll
open a C source file and check major mode is still `c-mode`


How do I check whether tree-sitter works well exactly? Thanks.

Just renaming is not enough, you need also to load c-ts-mode.

See above.  Recipe:

  emacs -Q
  M-x load-library RET c-ts-mode RET
  C-x C-f some-file.c RET
  M-: major-mode RET

The above should yield c-ts-mode.

Thanks for the steps!
By following them, tree-sitter major mode c-ts-mode works well for emacs-30 branch.
I will try master branch after the building issue is resolved.
