To install watchman on Fedora 26, these are all the hoops I had to jump through.
# The following packages are needed during `make`
# - openssl-devel so you don't get:
# ContentHash.cpp:13:10: fatal error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
# - redhat-rpm-config so you don't get:
# gcc: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1: No such file or directory
# - python-devel so you don't get:
# pywatchman/bser.c:31:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
sudo dnf install openssl-devel redhat-rpm-config python-devel
# The rest is just instructions from
# https://codeyarns.com/2015/02/10/how-to-install-and-use-watchman/
git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
cd watchman
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

I'm having trouble on Fedora 28

dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

that will install hundreds of packages. Does anyone know more specifically which ones are required? it would be nice to not install everything in those groups.

well I installed those two groups and I'm still getting the same error.

I'm taking my issue here: facebook/watchman#607
