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"

For Fedora 23 and above:
dnf install @development-tools
-
For what it's worth, this is a literal equivalent to
build-essential linux-headers-generic; it only installs what's needed to compile software (like gcc and make) as well as kernel headers. Thanks! – andlabs Apr 26 '16 at 15:52 -
My mistake;
linux-headers-genericalso requires Fedora packagelinux-devel. – andlabs Apr 26 '16 at 18:38 -
1I think the answer should be updated, since this is the better answer for modern versions of fedora. – Kirk Oct 29 '16 at 12:02

3I had to run
sudo dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries"– davidtbernal Nov 6 '16 at 21:29 -
@development-toolsdoesn't seem to includegcc-c++, so I also had to install the C Development group as mentioned by @davidtbernal – jocull Apr 30 at 19:20

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
