Simply removing desktop/epiphany works like a charm. Doing it here all
the time.

You probably only want to build platform/ and desktop/ entirely and
build selected packages only for the other directories. Just omit fifth-
toe/galeon then.

Do you want to build Mozilla as well? It's in bootstrap/ and won't be
build by default. So you need to build it explicitly, if you don't have
a recent version version installed and want to use that.

You will need libnspr4-devel and libnss3-devel packages for compiling
Evolution 1.5.x with SSL support, if not building Mozilla.


Note: Based on Stable Garnome 'Timmy' branch. YMMV.

If you really want to build Garnome entirely, building those 2 browser
packages mentioned above probably won't be noticeable... ;-)
