I installed emacs 29 from:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-29/emacs-29.1_1-installer.exe
When find-file with WEBP images, they are not displayed visually,
and emacs reports:
  Cannot display image: (Invalid image specification)
There exists c:/Emacs/emacs-29.1/bin/libwebp-7.dll in the same directory
 of emacs.exe.

This might mean your libwebp-7.dll is incompatible with Emacs you have
(e.g., it's a 32-bit DLL, not 64-bit DLL), or Emacs cannot load it for
some other reason.

Corwin, can you please verify that the binary on the GNU FTP site can
display WebP images when a suitable libwebp DLL is available?  The
Emacs 29.1 I built myself here is definitely capable of displaying
WebP images.

Yes, AFAICT it is working as expected. I used ProcessExplorer
(filtering on Emacs then Search | DLL for the webp) to check Emacs
really used the DLL  from the full-zip.  I did this from
emacs-29.1_1.zip from GNU FTP (after first doing the same steps using
my local "cache" of the last release  build's PREFIX folder, keep
around for this sort of question).

Predictably:
(image-type-available 'webp) => t, over here

Thanks.  So this leaves us with the other possibility: that
libwebp-7.dll on the OP's machine is the cause of the problem.  Where
did you download that DLL?

Hang on a minute...

I played with ProcessExplorer a little bit more, this time exporting
the list of DLLs for emacs-29.1.exe instead of the search/filter
approach looking specifically for libwebp-7.  Here I can see two webp
related DLLs (but I'm fairly sure we only include one of them).  The
one I didn't expect to find (libwebpdemux) is found from install of
MSYS, and seems to be about container parsing.

libwebpdemux-2.dll C:\msys2\mingw64\bin\libwebpdemux-2.dll
libwebp-7.dll H:\packaging-test\emacs-29.1_1\bin\libwebp-7.dll

Problem, yes?   Packaging problem only?

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware I needed this.  I'm happy to start on
updating the deps/deps-sources and making a new set of binaries "this
should have been included" is the correct surmise.

User jbe on Libera.Chat #emacs IRC kindly confirmed both the original
issue reproduces using the emacs-29.1_1 binaries, and that adding the
"debux" DLL mentioned above resolves the issue.

So, I have created a new deps archive and am working on a new release
set.  Once I have created and verified a new set of binaries, if there
are not concerns or countermanding instructions, I'll go ahead and
push emacs-29.1_2 to GNU FTP.

1. New deps zip with more webp DLLs:
https://corwin.bru.st/emacs-29/emacs-29-2023-08-10-deps.zip

2. In the same folder are dependency sources (src-deps) and sig files:
https://corwin.bru.st/emacs-29/


awrhygty (and anyone),

You can test that the new set will fix the problem for you by
unpacking the deps zip file (link #1, above) and unpacking it on atop
the bin folder from your emacs-29.1_1 install.  It doesn't matter
whether you say "Yes" to allow replacing files or not - the only
differences should be some new WEBP related DLLs.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting the problem.

Eli,

I have expressly added WEBP into the list of packages needed, in
admin/nt/build-deps-zip.py.   It is worth noting that this script is
really painful because the upstream MSYS package source paths keep
changing; I had to make several unrelated (cert and sqllite3 source
archive URL) changes to run it, just now.   I think lib-webp7.dll was
included at all only because something else we list as a dep was
depending on it, but I'm not quite sure what just yet.

I realize others don't find this script as important as I do, but I've
really struggled to do what it does manually constantly, much less
create simpler scripting.  I regret not sending in a proper patch for
discussion well in advance of the release.

Is this the right place, or should I open my own bug report to discuss
my version of build-deps-zips and whether to merge my changes that
make it work for building Emacs 29 and Enacs 30?  (Not attaching
anything quite yet, but I did put the current version of the script
into the folder I linked above.)

You are saying that the "dependencies" zip lacks libwebpdemux-2.dll?
If so, then yes, it's a packaging problem, since Emacs needs to load
that DLL to support WebP images.

I think this is worth a separate bug report, yes.  I understand that
playing catch with MSYS distros is a pain, and agree that we should
find a better way if it exists.  But let's discuss it separately; this
bug and its remediation are clear.

either
 - running emacs-29.1_2-installer.exe, or else
 - unpacking emacs-29.1_2.zip,
and then trying to load a WEBP image on the resulting Emacs

Now done.  You should soon find emacs-29.1_2 on your favorite GNU FTP
mirror.  Meanwhile, here's a non-mirror link in case you are seeing
this (as I am writing it), before propagation to mirrors:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-29/?C=M;O=D

awrhygty,

Please try emacs-29.1_2.zip or (emacs-29.1_2-installer.exe) and
confirm this version renders WEBP images for you.

TIA and (again) for reporting

awrhygty,

New (I hope, corrected) binaries are uploaded as emacs-29.1_2.

I tried the new installer:

Now I can view WEBP images visually.

Great, thanks for testing.  I'm therefore closing this bug.
