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.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.0 platform.

Estimated disk space required: 43 MB (add 5 MB if installing both sets of python bindings, add 9 MB for the main test and 5MB for testing the bindings)
Estimated build time: 0.2 SBU (add 0.3 SBU for the python bindings, and 1.2 SBU if testing them)
Python-2.7.18 (to create python2 bindings)
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/brotli
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, either or both sets of python bindings can be built and installed without any conflicts. If you need the Python2 bindings, add or substitute python2 for python3 in the following instructions:
pushd .. && python3 setup.py build && popd
If you 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 either or both sets of python bindings, install them as the
root user (as before, use the
appropriate version(s) of python:
python3 setup.py install --optimize=1
