[x264-devel] how to compile on Mac?

[Jan Ekstrom]

Use homebrew, and install yasm via it. Make sure you can then run
`yasm --version` from the terminal and get a proper version response.
Also I recommend you install the newest command line development tools
(or whatever they were called) from Apple, but even the ones you have
installed right now with XCode *should* be good enough.

Then run the configure script and see that everything has configured
well (no warnings or errors). Then try running `make clean` and
`make`.

You should then get a proper x264 binary built at least on 10.8.
