HEIC support for Windows #4237

Closed dvwgerritsen closed 1 hour ago

dvwgerritsen commented 2 hours ago

Hello,

I would like to get HEIC support for Windows. So far I have managed to get a custom libvips build working which is able to convert images from HEIC to JPEG without any issue. There is something however that confuses me regarding the installation guide and I don't understand how to progress from here.

So the installation guide says The use of a globally-installed libvips is unsupported on Windows and on macOS when running Node.js under Rosetta.

Does this mean HEIC support for Windows is not possible? And if it would be, how would you be able to have a sharp instance that depends on libvips with HEIC support?

Probably not impossible, but definitely unsupported. I wish you good luck but cannot help if you choose to do so.
