PR Summary
This PR documents the macOS -system-libs build mode introduced in #1862, which enables building CCExtractor using system-installed libraries instead of bundled dependencies.
This mode is required for Homebrew compatibility and uses pkg-config to link against Homebrew-provided libraries (e.g. gpac, freetype, libpng, zlib). The default bundled build remains unchanged.
The documentation explains:
When to use the default vs -system-libs build
Required Homebrew dependencies
How to verify the build
CI coverage for the system-libs path
This provides a clear upstream reference for package managers and unblocks future Homebrew formula work.
