Typo! You meant to type --cflags

Seems that libXext is not installed on your system, or at a place where
the compiler can't find it. Try 'gcc -v base.c etc. etc.' to find out
where gcc is looking for its files. If you don't have libXext, install it;
if you do have it, you didn't install gtk in the proper way, or edit the
gtk-config script.
