HI,
after install the previous packages and add:

apt-get install libcelt-dev
now I have this error:
ERROR: libcelt must be installed and version must be >= 0.11.0.

Any idea how to fix it?
I'm using a raspberrypi4 with debian buster

Here my notes in spanish (please use google translator)
Note that the this custom ffmpeg version are not stable, and sometime ffmpeg get zombie, sometime occurs a kernel panik, but is very fast on raspberry pi4

compilar ffmpeg en raspberry pi4 debian buster con soporte para HW

Nota:
Problemas de inestabilidad. A veces el proceso de ffmpeg se cuelga y se gueda zombie. Lo peor es que el raspberry no consigue reinciarse porqué se cuelga también el proceso de reboot.
Por lo tanto hay que reiniciar fisicamente, quitando la corriente. Desaconsejado usar este ffmpeg en un servidor remoto.
Pero podría servir en casa para crear un encoder usando el script ffmpeg-remote.

Please note. Actually the stock ffmpeg coming with raspberry is, support omx and neon. Try it with a simple scale from HD to SD without codecs or other parameters. Just the filter scale

i'm trying to build a hardware accelerated ffmpeg to use with emby-server, currently it's only doing software accel... no ffmpeg is installed in the base OS, ffmpeg is only installed with emby-server

I'm using a RPi4 of 4GB with AVideo (ex youphptube) and it's compressing by HW the new videos form 720p to 480p and 360p every day.

Please try to use Raspbian from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ then

sudo apt install ffmpeg

then use a test HD video on mp4 and try to:

fmpeg -i $pathFileName -vf 'scale=-2:min(480\,if(mod(iw\,2)\,iw-1\,iw))' $destinationFile -y
this reencode the video at 480p usign NEON v6 hardware from CPU

then try to

fmpeg -i $pathFileName -c:a copy -c:v h264_omx -vf 'scale=-2:min(480\,if(mod(iw\,2)\,iw-1\,iw))' $destinationFile -y
This use the HW encoder of video processor.

BUT: compare the videos quality now
The speed is similar (3-4x) but the quality of NEON is superior for the moment. In future I hope that it change. but fot moment OMX is useless apart live scenarios in low quality but fastest.

Please try it

with h264_omx the encoding it's a bit faster and the processor will be only at 65-70º max, but the video quality it's not good.

Getting

Unknown option "--enable-avresample".
See ./configure --help for available options.

because libavresample was deprecated in 2018-1, and removed from FFmpeg in 2021-4 (ffmpeg 4.4).

https://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/ffmpeg.git/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=c29038f3041a4080342b2e333c1967d136749c0f

removing line 127 allows building ffmpeg albeit without avresample support.

Substituting --enable-avresample for --enable-swresample might work.
