When I attempted to build software using gr-osmosdr outside of the gnuradio tree, I had to add the subdirectory ./osmosdr to the include path in gnuradio-osmosdr.pc otherwise cmake complained it couldn't find the gnuradio-osmosdr includes.
The bug is in the software you're trying to build.
Software is supposed to use #include <osmocom/source.h> and not source.h directly ( or more generally osmocom/XXX.h instead of XXX.h directly)
Cheers,
Sylvain
