Build error on OSX 10.12: error: Could not compile `glib`

[subzerofun]

Hey i'm really hyped to try out notty, but i haven't been able to compile it.

The compilation always crashes because of glib v0.0.8 - i've pasted the relevant errors below.

I'm already using the nightly build of rust, so it should compile fine – since there are other OSX users here that have managed to compile it without errors.

I've tried using a newer package of glib, but unfortunately that didn't help. Also searched on Google and stackoverflow and found some similar problems with glib. But the solutions provided there also didn't help. Like reinstalling the glib located at /usr/local/opt with brew. Didn't help either... Then cargo updateand re-build – still failing at the same point.

What could be wrong with my installation / settings? Do i need a specific glib version or some extra flags to get past the errors?

Here are the generated errors:
