- I added wheezy backports (now jessie) and instead of downloading and adding the individual key, i just went to packages.debian.org and downloaded debian-archive-keyring and debian-keyring and it worked.
- But this enforcement will also install all newer versions for not installed dependencies from backports as well, regardless of fact if stable versions are enough or not. If you need to install only limited and controlled number of packages from backports, you need to track the dependencies and manually pin them.
- Debian Linux 6 Squeeze: Install Linux Kernel 3.2.xx. However, you can install the Linux kernel version 3.2.xx or newer using backports. From the page: Backports are recompiled packages from testing (mostly) and unstable (in a few cases only, e.g. Security updates) in a stable environment so that they will run without new libraries.
As you may know, LibreOffice 4.0.3 has been released for a while. In this article I will show you how to install LibreOffice 4.0.3 on Debian 7 Wheezy. Follow this steps exactly for a successful installation: Add the backports repository on Debian Wheezy: $ sudo su.

I have been looking into OpenGL development recently and after watching a tutorial, noticed I was unable to compile my code. References that seem to be two features added specifically in SDL 2.0 are undefined according to Eclipse. I tried searching for a way to install SDL 2.0 on Debian (more specifically I am using
#!
but it is close enough to Debian that a fix on Debian will work). The way I keep finding is to type into the terminal:
This package is not found by aptitude. Can anyone tell me how to install SDL 2.0 on Debian?

Ok. Thank you to genpfault for telling me that libsdl2-dev was on backports! I would have never figured it out, especially because I have never used backports before!
For those of you stuck on this problem go to the following link if you do not know how to use backports:
Once you have setup backports, open up your terminal and run the following if you are using wheezy:
https://forwardrenew158.weebly.com/acad-2006-keygen-crack-patch.html. For other versions of Debian, I think you just need to put the name of your operating system version in the above code where I put 'wheezy'.
Remember in your IDE or in your terminal to compile with SDL2 instead of SDL. Best of luck!

I would like to know how to install FFmpeg on Debian.

Debian Jessie and later no longer include the ffmpeg, however you have 3 options for installing ffmpeg. I'd suggest trying options 1 or 2 before installing from source.
Option 1: Use avconv instead
You may install 'avconv' which has almost the same usage as 'ffmpeg'. The two commands often use the same syntax, but features such as srt subtitles may only work with ffmpeg.
Option 2: Install ffmpeg from deb-multimedia.org
To install ffmpeg, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the appropriate line for your distribution as listed here: http://www.deb-multimedia.org/
To add debian testing, either manually edit the file or run.
Example for debian testing only:
After adding the line for deb-multimedia, update the package, add the keyring, and install ffmpeg.
You will have to install the keyring as an unauthenticated package using this method.
Option 3: Install ffmpeg from source
Alternatively, you can install from source. This is how to create a .deb file using checkinstall which can then be uninstalled again. Install these packages, yasm or nasm is needed for ffmpeg specifically, the others are generally useful for building packages:
Next, clone the ffmpeg package or download the latest snapshot:
or
Compile ffmpeg:
Most of the checkinstall defaults are fine, but a version number is required. The current version is displayed by 'cat RELEASE'. This should create a deb file in the current directory.
Finally, install the deb file you made using dpkg:
nathannathan
It is now available for Jessy as a backport: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/ffmpeg
Add something like this to
/etc/apt/sources.list
(with your preferred mirror):Then

You can install it via apt-get. If the package is simply called 'ffmpeg'. https://forwardrenew158.weebly.com/om-namah-shivaya-serial-part-14.html.
If that doesn't work, you can try searching for it:
Note that this will install the packaged version of FFmpeg, therefore it will always be a little outdated. In case you experience bugs, please compile FFmpeg from source.

FFMPEG uses git so you will need to use the terminal. See here for the current location
There's a pretty comprehensive walkthrough on doing it here. Have extracted pertinent code for the lazy (myself included).
One thing to note, you may get some errors when configuring that you are missing packages. I needed to use RPM to get a couple of them when running Fedora 14 but your mileage may vary on Debian.
Checkout FFmpeg:

I downloaded the latest snapshot of ffmpeg from here http://ffmpeg.org/download.html. Then I followed Kdenlive's ffmpeg build instructions http://www.kdenlive.org – but run

I see this is a pretty old thread but since I just ran across it I will try to add some clarity. I used a combination of answers already stated to get ffmpeg installed. I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list adding deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main. Then apt-get update. Then apt-get install ffmpeg.
That worked for me.
