Description

When trying to build ImageMagick-7.0.8-36 from source on Ubuntu 18.01 I'm getting the following error (_coders/heic.c:564:20: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘struct heif_error’ from type ‘int’ error=heif_context_add_XMP_metadata(ctx,image_handle,.._):

Meanwhile I successfully installed ImageMagick 6.9.10-36

I had the same issue building the latest version (version 7.0.7-22 had built successfully). I had originally installed libheif from the PPA. The problem was solved by building libheif 1.4.0 from source, and then building ImageMagick 7.0.8-37.

I am facing the same problem on ubuntu 18.04.

What I did was I purged libheif-dev with sudo apt-get purge libheif-dev and then proceed to ./configure && make

This will not compile with the heif delegate though, but it does compile successfully.

[kprigel]

If you want it to compile with HEIF support you must build libheif 1.4.0 from source first.

[dlemstra]

It seems that we missed a check for the minimum version of libheif that is required for heif_context_add_exif_metadata and heif_context_add_XMP_metadata. You will need to at least version 1.3.0 for this. The checks will be added in the next release.
