The system library `libheif` required by crate `libheif-sys` was not found on Docker

[martinhamel]

I have the following docker file with libheif-dev libheif1 pkg-config installed.

FROM rust:1.78 as dev

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    fish \
    rustfmt \
    osm2pgsql \
    nodejs \
    npm \
    libheif-dev libheif1 pkg-config \
    llvm-dev libclang-dev clang

but I still get

error: failed to run custom build command for `libheif-sys v2.1.1+1.17.4`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/app/target/debug/build/libheif-sys-d581d88088fc7a1a/build-script-build` (exit status: 1)

  The system library `libheif` required by crate `libheif-sys` was not found.
  The file `libheif.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains the following:
      - /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

  HINT: you may need to install a package such as libheif, libheif-dev or libheif-devel.

Maybe your docker image has libheif < 1.17. Ubuntu deb-repository doesn't have libheif 1.17. You have to use external PPA to install latest version of libheif.

add-apt-repository -y ppa:strukturag/libheif

[martinhamel]

Yes, that was the problem. The version of libheif was 1.15.

But now I can't add the repository. Sorry for so many questions.

Thanks, I got it by compiling libheif

FROM rust:1.78 as dev

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    software-properties-common

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    fish \
    rustfmt \
    osm2pgsql \
    nodejs \
    npm \
    cmake make libclang-dev libssl-dev pkg-config 

RUN cd
RUN git clone https://github.com/strukturag/libheif.git
RUN mkdir build
RUN cd build && cmake --preset=release ../libheif && make && make install
