Compiling Error in C++ API and Python Wrapper

Hi,
I've tried to run the make command after cloning the repo. Unfortunately it ends up in a compiling error. my current clang version is 3.8.0-2 and I'm running a x86 Debian system. My current g++ version is 5.4.0 20160609. While running make (just as well as make CXX=g++) ends with this error:

Since it runs the same command compiling the python wrapper, it has the same problem.
