Hello, there is a new version available: https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/releases/tag/v1.17.5 The new version uses cmake to build. There is also new-optional dependency on media-libs/openjpeg for JPEG2000 embedded in HEIF. libheif-9999 needs to be updated to use cmake too.

Ebuild should be rewritten to use cmake eclass. configure: DEPRECATION WARNING configure: The autotools build scripts are deprecated in favor of CMake. configure: Please switch to a CMake building process. configure: The 'configure' script will be removed in a future release.
