Missing glib/gobject when compiling

[Edward Bridges]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for an awesome accounting product!  It's been very helpful
for my family's personal finance!

The gap I've found is that reporting isn't as flexible as I would like. 
To address this I'm hoping to PostgreSQL as the backend to make querying
a bit easier.  However, I'm on MacOS and need to compile it locally in
order to do this.

I've followed these instructions to do this:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz

All went smoothly until I hit `jhbuild build` and got an error about
missing either the "glib" and/or "gobject" packages.

Wouldn't these be installed by `jhbuild bootstrap`?

I'm on Sierra (10.12.6 (16G29))

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
