I am following this link for installing OpenCv but on the make step I came across an error:

home/aman/opencv/opencv/modules/videoio/src/ffmpeg_codecs.hpp:98:7: 
error: ‘CODEC_ID_H264’ was not declared in this scope 
{ CODEC_ID_H264, MKTAG('H', '2', '6', '4') },

On asking, someone pointed out an excellent explanation which was something like this:

This is because libav has changed API and removed some stuff it's still used in OpenCV. Ubuntu 14.10 uses libav API version 11 and OpenCV still uses API version 9. The problem is that CODEC_ID_* was changed to AV_CODEC_ID_*.

Now how can I fix this problem, please help me?

Is there some kind of patch or something, already have wasted 3 full days in just trying to figure out the problem, now I know the problem but can't find the solution?
