I can't reach ghostbin.co and see your logs. But as far as I know, some linux distributions which use curl and gnutls based git clients can't clone the master. They fail with the following error.

Cloning into 'mobile-ffmpeg-master'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 30317, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (30317/30317), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (23151/23151), done.
error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-110): The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

The meaning of this message is: repository is too big and some git clients don't work well with big repos. So, I'm not sure if we can fix this easily. Tried various git configuration settings but couldn't find a working one.

As a workaround, you can:

• Download the source code (as a zip or tar.gz file) from release v4.4
• Download master.git.tar.gz from release v4.4
• Unpack the source and master.git.tar.gz into the same folder. master.git.tar.gz includes the git folder of the repository
• After that you can run top level build scripts

This is one of the issues we're facing because MobileFFmpeg repository became too big. We don't have an easy solution for this. I suggest switching to FFmpegKit if you get this error.
