I have edited cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp by setting some parameters and print statements. I am compiling the libraries from the souce files. The compilation was successful but the changes in the file are not registered. I am wondering if any one could guide me on this?

Here is the change that I wish to add:

if LIBAVUTIL_BUILD > CALC_FFMPEG_VERSION(51,11,0)

  {
    av_opt_set(c->priv_data,"crf","0", 0);
    av_opt_set(c->priv_data,"preset","ultrafast", 0);
  }
     // av_opt_set(c->priv_data,"crf","23", 0);
}
