INSTALL: more info about HEIF support.
It looks like packagers have regular issues with this support. Also I added info about the fact we also support JPEG2000-in-HEIF (HEJ2) now. And I made clearer that there may be other encoders/decoders possible for a given format (though for AV1, we have a clear AOM preference in our code). Finally I add info about an environment variable which may be useful probably in cases when the run prefix differs from the build prefix. Cf. a case which was recently happening in the Snap package. See: https://github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/390

Make sure you build libheif with libde265 and libx265 support (for
|
||||
respectively decoding and encoding of HEVC, i.e. HEIC files), and
|
||||
libaom decoder and encoder (for AV1, i.e. AVIF files), otherwise
|
||||
the plug-in is mostly useless.
|
||||
GIMP supports several HEIF variants (different coding formats in
|
||||
the HEIF container), so you should make sure you build libheif with
|
||||
proper encoders and decoders for these:
|
||||
|
||||
* HEIC: e.g. libde265 and libx265 support (for
|
||||
respectively decoding and encoding of HEVC).
|
||||
* AVIF: e.g. libaom decoder and encoder (for AV1 encoding and
|
||||
decoding), prefered over rav1e.
|
||||
* HEJ2: OpenJPEG (for JPEG2000 inside HEIF).
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't compile libheif with the correct flags (see libheif
|
||||
README which has a table of supported codecs), the plug-in is
|
||||
mostly useless.
|
||||
If HEIF support doesn't look like it works on relocatable
|
||||
environments, the environment variable LIBHEIF_PLUGIN_PATH may be
|
||||
what you are looking for.
