How do I cross compile OpenCV for the Raspberry Pi with additional modules (highgui...)

My goal is to cross-compile OpenCV for Raspberry Pi with CMake on an Ubuntu 16.04 Host. The Problem lies within the CMake toolchain file which is unable to handle the compilation process correctly. As soon as pkg-config comes into play, a lot of "fatal error: No such file or directory" errors arise (e.g. "fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory).

I figured out that further "-isystem" flags with the directories containing the missing files seem to help in some way, but I doubt that this is the right way to address these errors.

The toolchain file works, as long as the "PKG_CONFIG"-stuff is commented out. This causes pkg-config not to find "libgtk2.0", which is needed for OpenCV's highgui module and builds without highgui-support.

Some ideas for the toolchain are from here:

build-toolchain.sh

#!/bin/bash

# apt -y install lib32z1 libstdc++6:i386 git qemu-user proot cmake pkg-config

Got it. The Problem was the setting of PKG_CONFIG-vars within the rpi-toolchain.cmake file, this does not work .They have to be added to the environment with export:

...
export PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=${MOUNT_DIR}
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=${MOUNT_DIR}/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:${MOUNT_DIR}/usr/share/pkgconfig:${MOUNT_DIR}/usr/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_DIR=

cmake -D CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE -D PIROOT=$MOUNT_DIR -D TOOLROOT=$TOOLCHAIN -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D WITH_V4L=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON ..
make -j $(nproc)

edit: I don't remember what the actual problem was here, but setting pkg-config variables with ENV{} works and was not the culprit.
