Consider brew install or ./configure build for MacOS

[tylers-username]

The pre-built binaries for MacOS aren't always ideal. brew install seems to ensure that everything will work as expected where ./configure may need a library check test—which is fine and could be left up to the user. Simply throw an error in the install script when ./configure fails.

The example below works with ffmpeg 5.0 from brew install. It does not work from any of the pre-build binaries that I've tried, including the one used in the build script.

cat video.webm | ffmpeg -re -i - -c:v libx264 -preset fast -strict -2 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -f flv -flvflags no_duration_filesize rtmps://global-live.mux.com:443/app/some-stream-id

The ./configure script would require cloning the ffmpeg source code, right?
