cpp-ethereum make error with json files

Question

To install cpp-ethereum, I followed the below steps given in the ethereum community forum:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-en-base
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common
wget -O - ://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb //llvm.org/apt/trusty/ llvm-toolchain-trusty main"
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum-dev
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git cmake libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libleveldb-dev libminiupnpc-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcryptopp-dev libjson-rpc-cpp-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libjsoncpp-dev libargtable2-dev llvm-3.8-dev libedit-dev mesa-common-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 opencl-headers libgoogle-perftools-dev qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5webengine5-dev ocl-icd-dev libv8-dev
git clone ://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum-cmake
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum
cd cpp-ethereum
git checkout master
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j2

Everything is fine up to cmake ..

When I do the make then it build 10% percentage and giving the following errors:

I read your installation instructions and can only guess you have found a very old resource. The ethereum forum is very old and a lot of dead weight can be found over there.

What you are looking for is the Ethereum Documentation which you can find here: http://www.ethdocs.org/

To install cpp-ethereum, all you need to do is the following:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum

Source.

If you insist on building from source, please follow this guide.
