No package 'libwebp' found: Package requirements (libwebp >= 0.2.0) were not met

Question

I'm trying to build a Docker image for a PHP project with debian OS base image.

When I run the Dockerfile I get the error below:

checking for libwebp >= 0.2.0... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libwebp >= 0.2.0) were not met:

No package 'libwebp' found

Answer 1

Here's how I solved it:

All I needed to do was to add the dependency for it which was libwebp-dev:

I installed it this way:

RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y libwebp-dev \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* \
