When using autotools to build the binary and libraries, the resulting libraries don't link `brotlicommon` or `m`. This was detected when building cURL 7.57.0 which has now has brotli support. During configure it was failing ``` checking run-time libs availability... failed configure: error: one or more libs available at link-time are not available run-time. Libs used at link-time: -lbrotlidec -lz -L/usr/local/lib ``` inspection of config.log showed missing symbols from libbrotlicommon as the cause. This patch results in the encryption and decryption libs to be properly linked against libbrotlicommon and libm. See also https://bugs.freebsd.org/223966 |

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.
Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License, see the LICENSE file.

Build instructions
Autotools-style CMake
configure-cmake is an autotools-style configure script for CMake-based projects (not supported on Windows).
The basic commands to build, test and install brotli are:
$ mkdir out && cd out
$ ../configure-cmake
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
By default, debug binaries are built. To generate "release" Makefile specify --disable-debug option to configure-cmake.
Bazel
See Bazel
CMake
The basic commands to build and install brotli are:
$ mkdir out && cd out
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
$ cmake --build . --config Release --target install
You can use other CMake configuration.
Premake5
See Premake5
Python
To install the latest release of the Python module, run the following:
$ pip install brotli
To install the tip-of-the-tree version, run:
$ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/google/brotli
See the Python readme for more details on installing from source, development, and testing.
