Well, I hung out on the #machomebrew freenode channel for a bit and
discovered that if I told vimb's compiler "cc" (which resolves to
clang on my mac) to use the language objective-c, then I could get a
little further in the build process.
Here's the diff to use objective-c:
```
diff --git a/config.mk b/config.mk
index 50d89ca..e6fbdcc 100644
--- a/config.mk
+++ b/config.mk
@@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ CFLAGS ?= -Wall -pipe -Wno-overlength-strings
-Werror=format-security -Wno-type
# normal compiler flags
CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags $(LIBS))
CFLAGS += -std=c99
+CFLAGS += -x objective-c
CFLAGS += ${CPPFLAGS}
LDFLAGS += ${LIBFLAGS}
```
I'm now hung up on teaching the compiler where to find the glib headers.
```
> make
...
cc arh.o
In file included from arh.c:24:
In file included from ./arh.h:27:
In file included from ./main.h:36:
./hsts.h:26:10: fatal error: 'glib-object.h' file not found
#include <glib-object.h>
```
I get this error even though pkg-config seems to know all about where
to find the glib headers. In fact, glib-object.h is found in the first
directory listed below:
```
> pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0
-I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.46.1_1/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.46.1_1/lib/glib-2.0/include
-I/usr/local/opt/gettext/include -L/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.46.1_1/lib
-L/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib -lglib-2.0 -lintl
```
I'll keep trying.
