It was missing gom-devel and telepathy-glib-devel I have no idea why it want's telepathy-glib-devel, but telepathy-glib looks like it should build in EPEL8. gom-devel will be harder. gom is in RHEL8, but gom-devel is one of those "missing devel" packages. You'd need to get it into CentOS 8 Devel repo. But maybe gom-devel is optional, I don't know. > I am a total newb at building packages, and this is my first attempt. The best possible result would be if someone was willing to build this and upload it to EPEL8? > To get packages into RHEL8, the best way is to open a bug requesting it[1]. If it already isn't in an earlier EPEL version (which gnome-shell-extension-pomodoro isn't) then you need to open it in Fedora / Fedora instead of Fedora / EPEL When you open the bug, you need to remember that just because someone maintains a package, doesn't mean they want to maintain it in EPEL also..
