java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 'long com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebPDecoderOptions.createDecoderOptions() on M1 Macbook

Hey EasyLauncher!

I faced a WebP issue on M1 Macbook:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 'long com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebPDecoderOptions.createDecoderOptions()'
	at com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebPDecoderOptions.createDecoderOptions(Native Method)
	at com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebPDecoderOptions.<init>(WebPDecoderOptions.java:26)
	at com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebPReadParam.<init>(WebPReadParam.java:24)
	at com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebPReader.getDefaultReadParam(WebPReader.java:147)

I've already tried v4.1.0, v4.2.0, v5.0.0, and none of them work.
Could you please check this issue? Thanks!

Ugh :/ I'm sorry to hear that. The plugin relies on sejda-pdf/webp-imageio#6 (comment) to decode WebP images, and looking at your report it seems like M1-specific binaries are missing and according to sejda-pdf/webp-imageio#6 (comment) can't be added :/

It seems like GA runners don't support M1 (link), I don't have M1 device, so even if I wanted to fork the library and compile the missing architecture I'm unable to.
To make this work, someone would have to publish a WebP decoding library which supports all architectures, including Mac ARM64

@mateuszkwiecinski Is there anything I can help with?

[mateuszkwiecinski]

If you can help then sure 😄 This plugin needs an ImageIO plugin that supports both reading and writing to WebP files. Something like sejda-pdf/webp-imageio#6 or haraldk/TwelveMonkeys#659 which supports all existing architectures + the problematic here M1.
Which means someone has to publish an open-source library with appropriate licence which can replace the currently used one

I've opened the PR with the missing binary here - gotson/webp-imageio#1

[mateuszkwiecinski]

Hello again 👋
I just published a new version, that should contain the binary compiled by @viakunin. I haven't found a way to include ARM macs in CI pipeline or even test it manually, so I don't even know if it works 😬
Please let me know if the most recent version does or does not work on your setup!

And just in case that's useful for anyone: the plugin will now use fork of a fork of a fork of a fork of a WebP decoding library: https://github.com/usefulness/webp-imageio - might be useful when debugging things 😉

I was told this is fixed in 5.1.1 ✅
