If you are connected to the net, then the build script would
automatically download the reqd tarballs for you
If you have got all the tarballs / garballs for Garnome 0.20 then you
can put it in a directory (say ~/garchive) & change gar.conf.mk to point
GARCHIVE diectory to the above path (pl remember to uncomment the line
in gar.conf.mk)

the beauty of garnome is that with a single make install, all the reqd
files are automatically downloaded & compiled for you. You really dont
need to bother much about these dependencies.

maybe you can also check out jhbuild to build the latest gnome from cvs
(it'll probably give you gnome 2.2 RC2 !)
