Can't build on xubuntu [ libxfce4panel-1.0 dependency]

[joksim]

Can not build on xubuntu 20.04 using autogen.sh. The output:

checking for libxfce4panel-1.0 >= 4.8.0... not found
*** The required package libxfce4panel-1.0 was not found on your system.
*** Please install libxfce4panel-1.0 (atleast version 4.8.0) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.

the library is not in the ubuntu repos, and the corresponding library (v. 2.* ) is installed:

apt search libxfce4panel

libxfce4panel-2.0-4/focal,now 4.14.3-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

libxfce4panel-2.0-dev/focal,now 4.14.3-1 amd64 [installed]
  Xfce4 panel library (development files for GTK3 variant)

apt install xfce4-panel-dev

but it doesn't matter because the very next thing you need is i3ipc-glib and that dude won't build because of:

i3ipc-glib/Makefile.am:71: error: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

...and I grow suspicions that this whole journey is really a recruitment tool for some secret society and you pass if you get this plugin to build in ubuntu 20. I just hope they have cookies...

I got i3ipc-glib to build!

sudo apt install gtk-doc-tools libglib2.0-dev-bin gobject-introspection libjson-glib-dev 

Notice the gobject-introspection package is in there.

EDIT: and i was able to build it all the way through, I needed to

sudo apt install xfce4-dev-tools libgtk2.0-dev libxfce4ui-1-dev xfce4-panel-dev

(sorry for commenting with two accounts, accidentally used my company account before)

Thanks, I'll try it...
