Good, so you have the right package installed.

As is mentioned in all the documentation that I linked to the last time 
that you had a pkg-config query, you must also use the relevant 
preprocessor flags, to ensure that the headers can be found. So, you 
would add:

myproj_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBOSSO_CFLAGS)

Of course, this will only work if you use PKG_CHECK_MODULES in 
configure.ac to check for libosso-abook-1.0.

You should use the same capitalisation for libosso as you do in 
Makefile.am, so the libosso above should be LIBOSSO.

As Dave Neary mentioned, the pkg-config file is libosso-abook-1.0, 
so you should use that and not osso-addressbook-1.0.
