Well, where do those libraries end up?  I agree the pkgconfig file is the 
correct way to do this, but it currently points at the libturing build 
directory which need not exist when building ffmpeg.

You should be able to install the library with some prefix (below using the 
default /usr/local) and then use it in ffmpeg without any other magic:

mkdir libturing-build
cd libturing-build
cmake ../path/to/libturing/source/
make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf libturing-build

mkdir ffmpeg-build
cd ffmpeg-build
../path/to/ffmpeg/source/configure --enable-gpl --enable-libturing
make
./ffmpeg ... -c:v libturing ...
make install
ffmpeg ... -c:v libturing ...

For me, this sequence currently fails to link for the configure test because 
the custom boost libraries are not found (were not installed anywhere, as far 
as I can tell).

Have you tried this on a vanilla install of a standard distribution?  It sounds 
like you might have more stuff in your development setup which allows it to 
work.
