I just progressed a little further but am stuck again now - reporting
progress in case you (or anyone else?) have any ideas ...

I renamed opencv_wrapper.c as opencv_wrapper.cpp and changed the
appropriate references in modules/video_filter/Makefile.am and ran:
    CXXFLAGS="-fpermissive" ./configure
    make

which successfully build
modules/video_filter/libopencv_wrapper_plugin_la-opencv-wrapper.lo

The associated example is already c++ (opencv_example.cpp) so no
trickery applied but compilation stopped with:

  CXX      video_filter/libopencv_example_plugin_la-opencv_example.lo

0, 0 );

I looked around but couldn't find a cvLoad function (the first error
mentioned) in the opencv4 headers - I guess it's from a very early
opencv version.

I'm not sure where to go from here so any help would be appreciated.
