-- Building for OpenGL Core Profile
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find OpenGL (missing: OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY
  OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR)
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Describe the Issue

hangs at finding the OpenGL library. I attempted to create a symbolic link in the build directory for libGLX but that was also unsuccessful

It looks like the GL development packages aren't installed, which contain the headers and development libraries required to build projectM. Try installing these packages (as user root), Fedora seemingly split all the files into many packages:

yum install mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel mesa-libGLw-devel mesa-libOSMesa-devel

my woes are no more, thank you.
