You just need to wrap all you libav includes in extern "C" { }, like 
this

  #ifdef __cplusplus

  extern "C" {
  #include <libavutil/avutil.h>
  #include <libavutil/mathematics.h>
  #include <libavutil/imgutils.h>
  #include <libavutil/samplefmt.h>
  #include <libavutil/time.h>
  #include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
  #include <libavformat/avformat.h>
  #include <libswscale/swscale.h>
  }

  #endif // __cplusplus

  As for UINT64_C you can do this

  #ifndef INT64_C
  #define INT64_C(c) (c ## LL)
  #define UINT64_C(c) (c ## ULL)
  #endif // INT64_C

I' m using libav in many of my projects which include other third 
party libraries. The above are the only things required.
