This shouldn't happen. Specifying xfcui-4.3 should automatically include 
the cflags and libs for xfccore-4.3 because the xfcui-4.3.pc file 
specifies xfccore-4.3 is required. Do you have pkg-config installed 
properly. If you have XFC installed in your home directory do you have a 
line like this in your shell file:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/lib/pkgconfig

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
