If you look at the error message in make, it usually gives you enough clue as 
to what you are missing.  In this case, 

> In file included from devicedialog.cpp:4:
> helpbrowser.h:5:29: error: boost/utility.hpp: No such file or directory
> helpbrowser.h:9: error: ‘boost’ has not been declared

indicates that the file 'helpbrowser.h' needs some file that is missing.  
Mostly, these missing cases are the cause of not having appropriate -devel 
packages.  Now again in this case it mentions 'boost/utility.hpp' and that 
'boost' has not been declared.  This means you don't have 'boost' package or 
more precisely, the 'boost-devel' package.  Installing it would fix this 
problem.
