Chapter 10. Graphics and Font Libraries

woff2-1.0.2

Introduction to WOFF2

WOFF2 is a library for converting fonts from the TTF format to the WOFF 2.0 format. It also allows decompression from WOFF 2.0 to TTF. The WOFF 2.0 format uses the Brotli compression algorithm to compress fonts suitable for downloading in CSS @font-face rules.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.2 platform.

Installation of WOFF2

Install WOFF2 by running the following commands: 

mkdir out                               &&
cd    out                               &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr   \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release    \
      -D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON .. &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.
