    Description

      Currently, if FFMPEG_DIR is not set correctly, CMake reports the following errors:

      -- [QtMultimedia] Could NOT find FFmpeg (missing: FFMPEG_LIBRARIES FFMPEG_INCLUDE_DIRS AVCODEC_LIBRARY AVCODEC_INCLUDE_DIR AVFORMAT_LIBRARY AVFORMAT_INCLUDE_DIR AVUTIL_LIBRARY AVUTIL_INCLUDE_DIR SWRESAMPLE_LIBRARY SWRESAMPLE_INCLUDE_DIR SWSCALE_LIBRARY SWSCALE_INCLUDE_DIR)

      This is misleading, and makes it harder than necessary to build Qt Multimedia against a custom FFmpeg build.

      It would be better to state something about that FFmpeg was not found, and that FFMPEG_DIR must point to a directory containing the FFmpeg include/lib directories.
