Build for Ubuntu
You won't usually need to build VIPS from source on Ubuntu, just install the standard packages:
sudo apt install libvips
If you also need the vips and vipsthumbnail command line tools:
sudo apt install libvips-tools
If you will be doing C, C++ or python development, install the headers with:
sudo apt install libvips-dev
You might need to build from source yourself to get a more recent version or for development of libvips itself.
First, remove the system libvips:
sudo apt-get remove libvips42
Add the PPA for libcgif-dev, per https://github.com/lovell/cgif-packaging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lovell/cgif
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcgif-dev
Install the build tools:
sudo apt install \
build-essential \
ninja-build \
python3-pip \
bc \
wget
pip3 install meson
Install the dependencies:
sudo apt install \
libfftw3-dev \
libopenexr-dev \
libgsf-1-dev \
libglib2.0-dev \
liborc-dev \
libopenslide-dev \
libmatio-dev \
libwebp-dev \
libjpeg-turbo8-dev \
libexpat1-dev \
libexif-dev \
libtiff5-dev \
libcfitsio-dev \
libpoppler-glib-dev \
librsvg2-dev \
libpango1.0-dev \
libopenjp2-7-dev \
liblcms2-dev \
libimagequant-dev
if you want to try SIMD code using highway download and install that from https://github.com/google/highway
Compile VIPS:
wget https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases/download/v8.13.3/vips-8.13.3.tar.gz
tar xf vips-8.13.3.tar.gz
cd vips-8.13.3
meson setup build --libdir=lib --buildtype=release -Dintrospection=false
cd build
meson compile
meson test
sudo meson install
To build nip2 from a fresh install of Ubuntu you typically need:
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev flex bison librsvg2-dev
git clone https://github.com/libvips/nip2.git
cd nip2
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Note that if you build libvips from source - the nip2 debian package may not work well with it (so build nip from src or use both as packages)
*tested on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 21.04 22.04 24.04 and Pi OS Buster on Ubuntu 24 you need to run "sudo ldconfig" after installing.
