### Introduction
|
|
|
|
Brotli is a generic-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, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
|
|
currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
|
|
with deflate but offers more dense compression.
|
|
|
|
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in [RFC 7932](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7932).

### Build instructions
|
|
|
|
#### Autotools-style CMake
|
|
|
|
[configure-cmake](https://github.com/nemequ/configure-cmake) is an
|
|
autotools-style configure script for CMake-based projects.
|
|
|
|
The basic commands to build, test and install brotli are:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir out && cd out
|
|
$ ../configure-cmake
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make test
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
To build static libraries use `--disable-shared-libs` argument:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir out-static && cd out-static
|
|
$ ../configure-cmake --disable-shared-libs
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
#### Bazel
|
|
|
|
See [Bazel](http://www.bazel.build/)
|
|
|
|
#### CMake
|
|
|
|
The basic commands to build, test and install brotli are:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir out && cd out
|
|
$ cmake ..
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make test
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
You can use other [CMake](https://cmake.org/) configuration. For example, to
|
|
build static libraries:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir out-static && cd out-static
|
|
$ cmake .. -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
#### Premake5
|
|
|
|
See [Premake5](https://premake.github.io/)
|
|
|
|
#### Python
|
|
|
|
To install the Python module from source, run the following:
|
|
|
|
$ python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
See the [Python readme](python/README.md) for more details on testing
|
|
and development.
