This is not the correct way to set CFLAGS. I think you need to use
something like "-I /pathtoheaders"

And "-L /pathtolibs -lnameoflibwithoutthelibatstart"

But that is unlikely to be easy to get right. Really, it would be better
to find out whether you have libxml and glibmm installed (including
their -dev or -devel packages from your distro).
