I already had ffmpeg installed, I don't give instructions for ffmpeg. This should not be too complicated with ffmpeg mailing lists archives and google...
Happy hacking,
PS: Thanks for ffprobe, it's a great tool !

hello,
To install ffprobe on a debian etch, I have done the following steps:
install build tools, here are the packages:
- build-essential
- automake
- autoconf
- libtool
- texi2html
- zlibg1-dev
Then I retrieved the code from subversion
svn co http://ffprobe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ffprobe/trunk/ ffprobe
Then run:
$ autoconf
$ ./configure LIBS='-lpthread'
$ make
I already had ffmpeg installed, I don't give instructions for ffmpeg. This should not be too complicated with ffmpeg mailing lists archives and google...
Happy hacking,

Thanks! Appreciate the instructions. On Debian testing (Lenny), I did this:
* wajig install build-essential automake autoconf libtool texi2html zlib1g-dev libx11-dev pkg-config dh-make fakeroot
* wajig install libavutilcvs-dev libavcodeccvs-dev libavformatcvs-dev (from debian-multimedia.org)
* svn co http://ffprobe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ffprobe/trunk/ ffprobe
* mv ffprobe ffprobe-0.49 (the revision number given by svn -- Debian wants a version number)
* cd ffprobe-0.49
autoconf
./configure LIBS='-lpthread'
dh_make -s --createorig
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
This creates a home-made version of a Debian package, easier to share and uninstall.
Cheeers,
David

Hi,
I have tried to build this Package. But ./configure says:
configure: error: Please install libavcodec
I have libavcodec54 installed and the ReadMe says ffprobe only needs libavcodec >= 51.40.4 .
Anyone an Idea?
Thanks in advance
