Installing image-acquisition toolbox in Windows 7

[TUEstudent]

Hi guys,

I am a new user of Octave, but quite experienced in Matlab. In Matlab i did
some image processing which i would like to redo with Octave. After
successful installation of the image package I ran into some trouble during
the installation of image-acquisition package.

<http://octave.sourceforge.net/image-acquisition/index.html>  

I am working on a windows 7 pc and I get this error during installation
pkg install C:\Users\s106777\Downloads\image-acquisition-0.2.2.tar.gz

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

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\configure_make.m
near line 79, column 9

similar to discussed here.

There the following solution is posed.
'' Installing libv4l-dev fixed this.  ''

I tried to find out how to do this, but came up short. Furthermore, it seems
like this a Linux related solution? But I'm not certain of that.

All suggestions are welcome,

Thanks in advance,
Jeroen
