You unfortunately need GNU sed, configure fails without
and you absolutely *have* to edit configure: Search for
"sed -E" and replace it with "/path/to/your/gnu/sed -E".
This is a requirement (and ticket #7310, a regression).

This was good enough once upon a time, I don't remember
if it still is.

This is indeed old, I don't know if it works, feel free to try.

Remove everything from the second line, it is wrong.

(unlikely)
This is unexpected, are you sure you waited long enough?

Before trying again, remember that only current FFmpeg git head
is supported here.
