I actually spent some time on this, and the rabbit hole goes deeper than you would expect. Here's what I've gleaned:

• The libde265 repo uses CMake to generate intermediate files based on the target platform.
• The goheif repo has made enough of these changes directly to the source to allow the build to pass.
• A SWIG wrapper may be the way to go for automated integration of a CMake-based C++ library into a Go library, but SWIG usage is not simple.

Here are the differences between https://github.com/strukturag/libde265/tree/v1.0.8/libde265 and https://github.com/adrium/goheif/tree/master/libde265/libde265:

I meant to create this issue on my fork, sorry.
