FFmpeg on Audacity for Big Sur 11.0 M1 chip

Hello - I'm trying to add FFmpeg to Audacity 2.4.2. I've followed all the instructions, but I am now in a loop. The FFmpeg library ended up in Library/ApplicationSupport/audacity/libs. No squiggle in front of the path. So I guess it's in the wrong place. And so Audacity keeps looking. The screenshots below will show the loop. How do I get the FFmpeg installed? Thanks.

Look at your third screen-shot. That's the LAME library, not the FFmpeg library. Try again to install the FFmpeg library.

Where did you find the FFMPEG library compiled for arm64? I am able to build an FFMPEG binary for arm64, but I'm not able to created a dynamically link-able library as required by Audacity to convert file formats.

I assume that this is so that you can use it on an M1 Mac?
Does this not work?
