p.s.: the snap build was temporarily broken as the desktop file got moved. Local compile was broken because of the python3 migration;
So for fedora 30 until now I did the following (some of it may be unnecessary):

• alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2 1
• alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 2
• dnf install boost-python3 boost-python3-devel python3-devel
• cd .. ; mkdir build ; pushd build ; cmake ../freeorion

edit: setting the following paths for cmake manually in the end prevented linking
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=$(python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_inc; print(get_python_inc())") \
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=$(python -c "import distutils.sysconfig as sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_config_var('LIBDIR'))")

Thanks !
But this means that they're entirely read-only, if I'm not mistaken...
How to test FOCS scripting then ?

You "could" change those using root rights. But better you point to a different default folder in the freeorion settings (just copy the /snap/freeorion/current/share/freeorion/default to your home folder and work there).
