Quick and dirty and very temporary: check the output of 'pkg-config 
--libs --cflags libxfcegui4-1.0' and add that to the gcc lines in the 
makefile.

The real solution is to add the proper PKG_CONFIG_... directive to 
configure.ac and to adapt the Makefile.am's to use libxfcegui4's CFLAGS 
and link flags. For Xfce we use some autoconf magic coded by Benedikt -- 
it's in the m4 directory of all xfce modules. Maybe you could have a 
look at that.
