Fortunately, this claim is not correct. ;)

GARNOME from a  ~/garnome/ directory, but the extracted tarball with a
version suffix. Building GARNOME from ~/garnome/ would be a bad idea,
because this dir happens to be the default *install* prefix (see
gar.conf.mk and the README how to change this, if you want). Using the
same directory for the build root and install prefix would be calling
for trouble, though it is possible. Anyway, you got both separated,
which is good.

Failing at desktop/zenity...

Looks like you indeed used 'make install' to fire off the build. Usually
it is a better idea to run 'make paranoid-install' instead. The
difference is, that paranoid-install will instantly *stop* on each
error, giving you the opportunity to install any missing dependencies.
Using the plain install target will just continue the build even after
errors, trying to go on and build whatever it can. Thus essential
packages may be skipped and errors go unnoticed during build time.

The best approach for the initial build is 'cd desktop/' and running
'make paranoid-install' in the desktop/ meta-garball.

Please see the README for this, too.

If the build breaks, you are almost always missing a dependency. Since
you are building software, you need the respective devel package
provided by your distro to satisfy the dependency. As Lucas already
pointed out. :)

Have a look at the DEPS-LIST file. Even if you are not installing all of
them in advance, this list can serve as a pointer, which devel package
is missing in case the build breaks. For Debian, the package names
should be similar (if not identical) to the ones listed for Ubuntu.
