Image Acquisition Toolbox with Windows

[David E. Squires]

I’m trying to install the image-acquisition toolbox in Octave version 4.0.2 and am getting the following error:

 

>> pkg install -forge image-acquisition

configure: error: unable to find the v4l2_open() function

checking for g++... g++

checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes

checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.exe

checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes

checking for mkoctfile... yes

checking for fltk-config... /usr/bin/fltk-config

checking for v4l2_open in -lv4l2... no

 

pkg: error running the configure script for image-acquisition.

error: called from 'configure_make' in file C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.2\share\octave\4.0.2\m\pkg\private\c

onfigure_make.m near line 79, column 9

 

I understand there are build dependencies (libv41-dev,libfltk1.1-dev) for this toolbox, but I don’t know how those dependencies extend to a windows system.
