I mis-wrote above: it is actually on Fedora 20. (The mythbox is on F20, 
the laptop is on F21, but I needed to make the same changes to the 
dependencies installation script because that is what master now requires.

As to CentOS7, I can only suggest that you might be able to take the 
Fedora rpms (all on the release or updates repos) and rebuild them, or 
the CentOS versions, taking a good look at the spec file to see what the 
dependency levels are.

When I first tried making the recent master, it kept failing, but the 
error was sufficiently precise as to allow me to determine what was 
being looked for. I suspect you will have to do the same. I also suggest 
that you 'make distclean' before each pass to avoid any mis-makes. (Is 
that a word??) Thanking ${DEITY} for build scripts, it was not too 
painful, although somewhat time-consuming, once I realized what was 
happening.
