Error building opencv on a raspberry pi 3

Question

I was following this example and received the following error when running make

In file included from /root/src/opencv-3.1.0/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp:45:0:

I have successfully installed opencv on Raspberry Pi 3 by following the steps in the link http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/02/23/install-opencv-and-python-on-your-raspberry-pi-2-and-b/

The changes i made while following the steps are:

Use 'aptitude' instead of 'apt-get' and accept all recommendations given
Before following Step 11, run 'source ~/.profile'. To quit, run 'deactivate'

Hope this helps :)
