[gitg] troubles compiling latest libgit-glib under debian jessie/testing

[Peter Spiess-Knafl <psk autistici org>]

Hi!

First, thank you for implementing gitg. It is the only git gui that I
find useable at all :)

Since the version at the debian package archives is pretty outdated
(2.7) I would like to build the newest release from source.

But I have troubles compiling libgit-glib from
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgit2-glib

Getting the following errors:

I have the latest libgit version (0.21) installed.

Thanks in advance and greetings
