Woohoo! :-)  What magazine comes with a copy of GARNOME?

This dir is where all release tarballs are expected, not inside a subdir
of this dir...

I can only guess why they choose to use such a directory structure, but
it is not suited for a GARCHIVEDIR without copying all the contained
tarballs to a single dir. Also, I seriously do hope the above ain't
everything they ship with. It lacks all the freedesktop.org love (aka
the releases), to start with...

Since that file doesn't exist yet, let's get it.

Checking, whether this file is shipped as part of GARNOME itself.

Trying to find the tarball in your GARCHIVE dir.

Not found yet, so download it.

Downloading sure fails here, given ftp.gnome.org resolves to 1.0.0.0...

It's not exactly looking in that dir for the tarball, but rather 'make'
enters that dir, which means it processes the Makefile in that dir. This
is correct.

Hmm, obviously the magazine that shipped with GARNOME and the GNOME
sources doesn't know much about it...

As explained above GARNOME checks for the file in the GARCHIVEDIR dir,
not a dir inside it. I annotated the terminal output, where it does. To
make it use these tarballs, just move them to the GARCHIVEDIR.
