That is just a link error. You need to set up you environment to link against libxlsxwriter.

$ cd examples

$ cc hello.c -o hello                 
/tmp/ccD0YNKK.o: In function `main':
hello.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `workbook_new'
hello.c:(.text+0x23): undefined reference to `workbook_add_worksheet'
hello.c:(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `worksheet_write_string'
hello.c:(.text+0x73): undefined reference to `worksheet_write_number'
hello.c:(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `workbook_close'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

$ cc hello.c -o hello -lxlsxwriter
