Issue with pip install

Good Day,

I'm getting the following when trying to install on Windows 10 with python 3.6 with library wheel@0.36.2 and setuptools@56.0.0

build\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Release\_libheif_cffi.c(570): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libheif/heif.h': No such file or directory error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.16.27023\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

Do I need to have another library installed before installing this one?

Hi,
pyheif-pillow-opener use pyheif and pyheif use libheif.

pyheif officially is not supported on Windows but you can try to install it using Vcpkg, unfortunately i can't try now.

Let me know if works please.

@ciotto Yeah! I'll try it today and let you know how it goes

Great,
let me know, I'm a curious.

Despite throwing all my effort at it, I couldn't seem to get vcpkg to install it :/

Going to try a little bit longer though, will update you by the end of the week
