Two things I can think of...

1. Were the libraries executable? They must be executable on Fedora (and I
believe RPM based systems), and not on Debian based systems.

2. The Fedora package mangles the includes to be in a subdirectory, perhaps
configure is only looking there?

 mkdir include
cp -a libhdhomerun/*.h include
sed -r 's|(^#include +["])(.*)(["] *$)|#include <hdhomerun/\2>|' \
    libhdhomerun/hdhomerun.h > include/hdhomerun.h
mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_includedir}/hdhomerun
install -m0755 include/*.h %{buildroot}%{_includedir}/hdhomerun/

Now that I think about it (i'm not the original maintainer) I don't know
why the permissions are executable on the headers...

Thanks,
Richard
