Cmake cross compile cant find library - opencv

Question

i am tring to compile OpenCV on BeagleBone Black with CMake, but it can't find some libraries like gstream. I run cmake natively on BBB and it showed
that rootfs has gstream. how can i tell CMake to search in Correct path ?

Thanks to #Tsyvarev, The problem was pkg-config. in host i have:
myPC:~$ pkg-config --libs gstreamer-1.0
Package gstreamer-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
but in target BeagleBone :
beaglebone:~# pkg-config --modversion gstreamer-1.0
1.4.4
and the path for .pc files in target are :
beaglebone:~# pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
[Wrong Way !]
so i simply added these path with prefix of /mnt/BBB (my target rootfs) to pkg-config environment of host and run cmake, everything well recognized :
myPC:~$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mnt/BBB/usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/mnt/BBB/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/mnt/BBB/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/mnt/BBB/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/mnt/BBB/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/mnt/BBB/usr/share/pkgconfig
myPC:~$ cmake-gui
[Edited: Correct way]
According to This link, i need to create pkg-config wrapper script.
in my toolchain Directory i have arm-linux-gnueabihf-pkg-config-real and then i should modify its script to this:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Wrapper script that calls the real pkg-config with the relocated
# sysroot location
#
set -e
GCC="${0%%-pkg-config}-gcc"
MACHINE=`"$GCC" -dumpmachine`
SYSROOT=`"$GCC" -print-sysroot`
SYSROOT=/mnt/BBB #My modification
export PKG_CONFIG_DIR=
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="${SYSROOT}/usr/lib/${MACHINE}/pkgconfig":"${SYSROOT}/usr/lib/pkgconfig":"${SYSROOT}/usr/share/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR="${SYSROOT}"
exec "$0-real" "$#"
then set this script path in toolchain.cmake
set(PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE /usr/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-pkg-config)
and everything works fine ...
