Depending on what shell you're using, you should have something like $PATH in your environment that provides pathnames to directories containing the commands you normally run. On UNIX and Linux systems, PATH is a colon separated list of directories; on Windows systems it is frequently a semicolon separated list of directories. Some shells on Windows internally convert slashes in pathnames to backslashes; some don't.

Try the command:

Code:

echo $PATH

in your shell. If it is there, try the command:

Code:

export PATH="$PATH;C:\RESOURCE\FFMPEG"
      or
export PATH="$PATH;C:/RESOURCE/FFMPEG"

matching the use of slashes or backslashes in existing entries in $PATH. You should then be able to just run ffmpeg or ffmpeg.exe to run the command in any subshell of your current shell.

Look at the man page for your shell. There should be an initialization file (such as $HOME/profile.sh) that will be run when you login. You can set $PATH there to add that directory to your $PATH for all later shells after you log out and log back in to your system.

DH_AUTO_BUILD(1)                                                     Debhelper                                                    DH_AUTO_BUILD(1)

NAME

       dh_auto_build - automatically builds a package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_auto_build [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_auto_build is a debhelper program that tries to automatically build a package. It does so by running the appropriate command for the
       build system it detects the package uses. For example, if a Makefile is found, this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment
       variable is set). If there's a setup.py, or Build.PL, it is run to build the package.

       This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_build at all, and just run
       the build process manually.

OPTIONS

       See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.

       -- params
           Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_build usually passes.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
