./configure didn't find the appropriate development headers package.  You have
X11, but you also need the headers to build Workrave.  On your PC, ./configure
looked for the headers, couldn't find them, and aborted.

I've never used Linux Mint but I suspect you need to install the package
"build-essential" plus all the packages listed on the Build-Depends line here[*].

If you ask on your distribution's users' mailing list, you will probably get
more reliable and accurate help with building Workrave on your distro.  This
mailing list is best for distro-independent things like Workrave preferences.
