Questions：
1. compiling failed，sh File contains the href:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Execution to this sentence indicates that yasm is not installed, and installing yasm requires
homebrew, so the above statement is incorrect when installing homebrew.

---------------Solution:
Install homebrew before installing yasm

2. compiling failed
xcrun -sdk iphoneos clang is unable to create an executable file.
C compiler test failed.

---------------Solution:

First
1) Check your Git version
2) Make sure you are using the lastest version from Git

Second
1) Find "ffmpeg-armv7/ffbuild/config.log" search the detail error with keyword like "xcrun: error"
2) My case ,found the detail "xcrun: error: SDK "iphoneos" cannot be located"

Third
1) Terminal input "sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/"
2) Input password
3) Try again
