OpenCV3.2.0 compilation linker error using cmake

edit

I had recently by a mistake of mine, deleted the /usr/local/ folder and with it all of the binaries that were built by me contained in it. I had to reinstall the OpenCV and had to build caffe again which is required for my project. The issue now is that whenever I build my project there is this error that emerges during the build. I have googled but to not much of my help. I am using cmake to build my project.
