What is the Fedora equivalent of the Debian build-essential package?

The closest equivalent would probably be to install the below packages:

su -    
yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

However, if you don't care about exact equivalence and are ok with pulling in a lot of packages you can install all the development tools and libraries with the below command.

su -
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

The command is yum-builddep. It is included in the yum-utils package.

sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum-builddep $the_pkg_you_want_to_build
