Build succeded but can't install
After running ./build I get
Waf: Leaving directory `$HOME/inst/mpv/mpv-build/mpv/build'
'build' finished successfully (14.611s)
and a zero exit status (good).
It seems like the build really was successful, as I can run use the binary to play video files
However, when trying to install with sudo ./install:
The project was not configured: run "waf configure" first!
If I try to use waf configure (cd mpv; ./waf configure):
... (omitted) ...

Unable to find development files for some of the required FFmpeg/Libav libraries. Git master is recommended.
which seems weird since the binary really did build and I should have those requirements in ffmpeg (separate from mpv-build):

Any advice on how to properly finish the build/install process? Just moving the binary and adding it to my path seems really hacky.
Looks like it indeed built successfully. Since mpv-build builds a static binary, you can just symlink it to a /usr/local/bin or copy it there. I'm not sure what's up with the mpv-install script being broken. FWIW, the waf configure failing if you run it manually, but it succeeding if you use mpv-build, is because the mpv-build scripts set some paths to point towards the ffmpeg build it just made.
Waf support no longer exists and I will naively assume that meson's install command works.
