Compiling on Debian Wheezy (oldstable) - mickelson/attract GitHub Wiki
libsfml-dev in stable is no good, however version 2 is found in testing. So we need to enable testing in /etc/apt/sources, pin stable as our preferred release, then install the following packages:
apt-get install \
build-essential \
pkg-config \
libavcodec-dev \
libavformat-dev \
libopenal-dev \
libswscale-dev \
libsfml-dev/testing \
libc-dev-bin/testing \
libc6/testing \
libc6-dev/testing \
locales/testing
