Same issue with Bionic @cedl38

[apiontek]

I was able to get it to compile on Bionic with the following:

cd /usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4panel-2.0/libxfce4panel
wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raboof/xfce4-panel/master/libxfce4panel/xfce-hvbox.h

Then go back to user mode, to xfce4-windowck-plugin folder, and try again. Worked for me. Found the missing xfce-hvbox.h file at https://github.com/raboof/xfce4-panel/blob/master/libxfce4panel/xfce-hvbox.h

I don't know if this is the smartest solution...
