Uses a Docker build to isolate all of the checkout libs and everything needed to create a build of ffmpeg for the Raspberry Pi (or other arm devices, in theory).
Creates a shared lib because static build doesn't seem to work correctly with ALSA devices. All .so libraries are bundled alongside the binary to keep it portable like a static build.
Install Docker as described here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/docker-comes-to-raspberry-pi/
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
Download or checkout this repo
Run build.sh. Expect it to take a very long time (several hours) as it has a lot of work to do.
It will create a Docker image named build-ffmpeg-raspi which contains all source and the compiled ffmpeg. Then it runs a container with that image to pull out the ffmpeg binaries to the host.
