Hi, my name is Marcin Zając, Im working for the Khronos CTS team, we decided to pick your repo as a source of ffmpeg binaries as a part of external libraries pull

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS/blob/main/external/fetch_sources.py

Thank you for providing these sources!

Just recently it turned out that the problem for us is the lack of sources for OSX, I am able to get around it by heavily modifying build scripts it would be ideal just to have them next to Win/Linux. Would you be so kind as to consider expanding your range of available platforms? We are technically capable of testing also Android and iOS.

Since there is no usable OSX cross compiler that runs on Linux (and can be put into a docker image), it's impossible to target OSX. I also would be entirely unable to test and verify the build results, so I can't really offer such builds easily to begin with.

I'm also pretty sure all the existing build scripts would need major overhauls for OSX, given how different it is compared to literally everything else. So there is unfortunately no good way for me to create and offer OSX builds.

O! I didn't know that, thank you for this insight BrbN. At least now I know what I'm dealing with
