When compiling workrave with
./configure LIBS=-lXss --disable-indicator --enable-xfce --enable-mate --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/workrave/
I don't get the error shown below, but with
./configure LIBS=-lXss --enable-indicator --enable-xfce --enable-mate --disable-schemas-compile --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/workrave/
I get this:
