The {{Forge|image-acquisition}} package is part of the [[Octave Forge]] project.


There is not release package yet but if you can get the source here [http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/image-acquisition/ci/default/tree/]
Build dependencies for Debian GNU/Linux are '''libv4l-dev''' and '''libfltk1.3-dev''' or '''libfltk1.1-dev'''. You can install it on GNU/Linux in octave with
  octave> pkg install -forge image-acquisition
 
If you see complains about a missing mkoctfile: [[FAQ#I_cannot_install_a_package._Octave_complains_about_a_missing_mkoctfile.]]
 
If you want to report a bug: [[Image_acquisition_package#Reporting_bugs]]
 
'''image-acquisition will not work on Windows as far as there is not port of v4l2 (standing for ''Video for Linux 2'')'''

Exit octave and add libv4l2_debug.log to your bug report
Exit octave and add libv4l2_debug.log to your bug report. The logfile libv4l2_debug.log is overwritten between open/close so you have to rename it if you run different scripts.


Consider running the included tests:
Consider running the included tests:


  test @videoinput/videoinput
  octave> test @videoinput/videoinput
  test @videoinput/get
  octave> test @videoinput/get
  test @videoinput/set
  octave> test @videoinput/set
  test @videoinput/getsnapshot
  octave> test @videoinput/getsnapshot
 
Run the compliance check (perhaps also with -s)
 
v4l2-compliance -d /dev/video0
 
== Build source from mercurial repository ==
 
'''Warning: You really should use the <pkg install -forge> method described above if you are not sure what you are doing here.'''
 
Get the source and build it yourself. The build dependencies for Debian GNU/Linux jessie are '''libv4l-dev''' and '''libfltk1.3-dev''' or '''libfltk1.1-dev'''. You also need the GNU autotools to generate the configure script.
 
$ hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/image-acquisition octave-image-acquisition
$ cd octave-image-acquisition/
$ make install
 
== make check ==
 
If you have cloned the hg repo you can also run the test scripts to see if all works.
 
$ cd octave-image-acquisition/devel
$ make check
octave -q run_tests.m
../src/__v4l2_handler__.cc........................ PASS 3/3
@videoinput/videoinput............................ PASS 1/1
@videoinput/get................................... PASS 4/4
@videoinput/set................................... PASS 7/7
@videoinput/getsnapshot........................... PASS 4/4
imaqhwinfo........................................ PASS 1/1
Summary:
  PASS  20
  FAIL  0
 
If there are tests which FAIL, then please have a look at the generated fntest.log and add it to your bug report.
