I haven't tried this on Fedora 25 (or later) yet, but following the 
installation instructions and similar notes for installing on ubuntu, I 
found I had to do this prior to building Phoenix on recent Fedora:

    sudo dnf install webkitgtk webkitgtk-devel freeglut freeglut-devel 
libnotify libnotify-devel libtiff libtiff-devel libjpeg libjpeg-devel SDL 
SDL-devel gstreamermm-devel gstreamermm 

    export GST_LIBS="-lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -pthread 
-lgthread-2.0 -pthread -lglib-2.0 -lxml2"
    export GST_CFLAGS="-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10 
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include 
-I/usr/include/libxml2"
 
    python build.py etg --nodoc sip build build_py

Hope that helps, I'd be happy to hear if anything there needs to be changed 
-- I'm sure I'll need it soon.
