A tip for finding the name of the PackageConfig module:
dpkg -L libosso-abook-dev | grep '\.pc$'

For me this gives
"/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libosso-abook-1.0.pc"

So here, you should be doing
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBOSSO, libosso-abook-1.0)

(note that the pkgconfig module is the name of the .pc file, and the
first argument is the prefix you would like to use later in the LDADD
command for $(prefix)_LIBS) - if you want to have

then you need to set the first argument to LIBOSSO.

... but once again, please make it easier to help you by including
minimum compilable source code (or a link to a pasteboard containing
some, or a reference to where you found the source code you are trying
to compile) - otherwise people have to guess whether there are problems
with your code or your project configuration.

Cheers,
Dave.
