BUG: can't compile linux binary Fedora
In main page in description how to build linux binary for Fedora, not enough one package in dependencies list, in build-linux.sh it's exist, "minizip-devel".
I'm not well versed with Fedora, but looks like it's packaged, https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/minizip/minizip-devel/
Alternatively as you seem to be building from a git checkout, you could build a static binary instead which will not rely on distribution dependencies. Make sure that cmake, ninja, autoconf automake, libtool and pkg-config are installed and run:
./bootstrap.sh
cmake --preset static
cmake --build build-static --config Release
It will take a couple of minutes on a modern machine as it builds all the deps. It's newly introduced so hopefully it works as great on Fedora as elsewhere.
...and an even easier solution if you don't have any code changes is downloading an AppImage:

@VVD No, not it, it's listed here, https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/blob/master/build-linux.sh#L13
perhaps Fedora has different repos and not all enabled by default.
Something with the @timofeika's Fedora installation at least. I just tried it in Docker here,
docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/src fedora bash
I had to run yum update and installing git before running ./build-linux.sh but after that it worked as expected.

Yes. We discuss this in Discord before @timofeika create this issue. Check README: https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L154 Script have minizip-devel, but README - no.
Yes that whole readme needs some shaping up. I'm doing it iteratively as PRs merge. It's very outdated. macOS part has been updated, and there's a PR that contains update for the Windows build. Linux/BSD build coming up next.
