I get this error log from installing it with pip. Where should I place my libheif files?

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

You should follow the instructions specific to Windows for placing the libheif library files.

Here's what you can do:

  1. Create a directory to store the libheif library files. For example, you can create a directory called C:\libheif.
  2. Place the libheif library files (header files and dynamic library files) in this directory. Ensure that you have the necessary header file (e.g., heif.h) and the dynamic library file (e.g., libheif.dll) available.
  3. Add the directory C:\libheif to the system's PATH environment variable. This will allow the installation process to locate the libheif files.
  4. Retry the installation of the pyheif package using pip.

I followed the instructions. I have the folder on my computer and have added the directory to the system path. However, it still gives the same error code.

homm commented

Does your dir appear in error message in cl.exe options like other dirs?
Are you sure that you have libheif/heif.h file path inside this dir?
