%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Brotli Brotli provides a general-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling. Its libraries are particularly used for WOFF2 fonts on webpages. &lfs101_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &brotli-md5sum; Download size: &brotli-size; Estimated disk space required: &brotli-buildsize; Estimated build time: &brotli-time; Brotli Dependencies Required User Notes: At first, fix an issue in pkg-config files: sed -i 's@-R..libdir.@@' scripts/*.pc.in Install brotli by running the following commands: mkdir out && cd out && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ .. && make To test the results, issue: make test If desired, build the Python3 bindings: pushd .. && python3 setup.py build && popd The python tests are missing most of the necessary testdata files and therefore 240 of 311 tests fail. If you nevertheless wish to test the bindings, go back to the top-level directory and issue: python3 setup.py test. Now, as the root user: make install && cd .. If you have built the python bindings, install them as the root user: python3 setup.py install --optimize=1 Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory brotli libbrotlicommon{-static.a,.so}, libbrotlidec{,-static.a,.so}, and libbrotlienc{,-static.a,.so} /usr/include/brotli Short Descriptions brotli can compress or decompress files, or test the integrity of compressed files brotli libbrotlicommon{-static.a,.so} is the Brotli common dictionary library libbrotlicommon{,-static.a,.so} libbrotlidec{-static.a,.so} is the Brotli decoder library libbrotlidec{,-static.a,.so} libbrotlienc{-static.a,.so} is the Brotli common encoder library libbrotlienc{,-static.a,.so}
