Hello,

Thanks for the report and sorry for the late response, I only found
this issue today.

I had a look at the Shotcut source code and it does seem to copy files
from other projects to its bin directory [1] and read the melt-7
executable from a variable called "shotcutPath" [2].

I am attaching a tested patch that symlinks these executables to the
shotcut bin folder. It was based on the update to 21.10.31 at 51898 but
should work in the current version.

I also removed other variables in the 'wrap-executable phase that don't
seem to be used. MLT_PREFIX is only read in Darwin and PATH was set
only for ffmpeg, but in the patch ffmpeg is symlinked instead.
