When installing the packages to make pokeemerald using msys2, I ran into these errors and I could not install the packages, It happens for a few other files and eventually errors out.

pacman -Sy msys2-keyring, and then run pacman -S make gcc zlib-devel git again.
Do keep in mind that while the INSTALL.md document currently suggests to install the mingw-w64-x86_64-libpng package, this doesn't work, or at least it hasn't worked for me as the compiler complained that libpng wasn't found on MSys2 and predictively gave me an error telling me that png.h was missing. Building libpng from the source code does work though. I explain how to do that here.
Has there been any updates on this issue? If not, I could try to update the document with building it from source in a PR.
I‘v met the problem few days ago, and here is how I solve it:
open /etc/pacman.conf, change the 'SigLevel' in the section core :
[core]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
SigLevel = Never

While it is necessary to update the keyring manually either way, it sounds like you missed the part where INSTALL.md tells you to specifically launch the mingw64 environment, as opposed to opening it from the start menu icon that devkitPro installs. I just verified with a clean install of devkitPro and libpng was located successfully after installing the packaged version as suggested.
