libcaffe.so java_caffe installation stuck at "Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libcaffe.so"

I encountered a problem when trying to build caffe with cmake (trying cmake since make constantly gives me errors but it turns out cmake is nothing better...). Below is the error message:

[ 82%] Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libcaffe.so

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_dep_cudart

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

src/caffe/CMakeFiles/caffe.dir/build.make:3284: recipe for target 'lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3' failed

make[2]: *** [lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3] Error 1

CMakeFiles/Makefile2:272: recipe for target 'src/caffe/CMakeFiles/caffe.dir/all' failed

make[1]: *** [src/caffe/CMakeFiles/caffe.dir/all] Error 2

Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed

make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried to search online but did not find much information related to the missing -lopencv_dep_cudart.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04. Both gcc and gcc++ versions are 4.9. Opencv is installed and its version is 2.4.13. Below is part of the output from cmake .. that shows the dependencies for caffe (I think I have all dependencies installed):
