Compiling imagemagick with HEIC support in ubuntu

HEIC is a image format, which is supported by iOS, and will be used exclusively by iOS.

When working with ruby on rails, we get into the situation to allow upload option to accept the HEIC image,so people can upload from their iphone.

Sample HEIC images and preview

Compiling imagemagick with HEIC support in heroku(ubuntu)

`convert #{path} #{directory}#{jpegname}`

Error

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `HEIC' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.
convert: no images defined `image.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3210.

Could n’t find the library for heic files. We can check that by getting into ImageMagick folder. ex : ImageMagick-7.0.11–14

Solution :
Compiling imagemagick with HEIC support from clean install of Ubuntu

$ sudo sed -Ei ‘s/^# deb-src /deb-src /’ /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf git-core
$ sudo apt-get build-dep imagemagick libde265 libheif
$ cd /usr/src/ 
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/strukturag/libde265.git 
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/strukturag/libheif.git 
$ cd libde265/ 
$ sudo ./autogen.sh 
$ sudo ./configure 
$ sudo make –j4 
$ sudo make install 
$ cd /usr/src/libheif/ 
$ sudo ./autogen.sh 
$ sudo ./configure 
$ sudo make –j4 
$ sudo make install 
$ cd /usr/src/ 
$ sudo wget https://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz 
$ sudo tar xf ImageMagick.tar.gz 
$ cd ImageMagick-7* 
$ sudo ./configure — with-heic=yes 
$ sudo make –j4 
$ sudo make install 
$ sudo ldconfig 
$ mogrify — version 
# heic should appear in the Delegates line

After above steps try
