build FFMPEG on Apple M1 mac with macports
Raw
ffmpeg_apple_m1.md

Introduction

Currently "libvpx" does not build on M1 macs. Here's how to build ffmpeg without this dependency (until it's fixed). We need to create a local port and build it (it's not strictly necessary to add this port tree to /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf)

Copy FFMPEG port locally

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local_ports/multimedia/
sudo cp -r /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg /opt/local_ports/multimedia

Edit FFMPEG Portfile to disable libVPX

cd /opt/local_ports/multimedia
sudo vim Portfile

remove "libvpx" from "depends_lib" replace "-enable-vpx" with "-disable-vpx" in "configure.args"

Index local port tree and build FFMPEG

cd /opt/local_ports
sudo portupdate
sudo port install /opt/local_ports/multimedia/ffmpeg -x11
