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 11.3 platform.

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.
Now, as the root user:
make install && cd ..
If desired, build and install the Python3 bindings as the root user:
pip3 wheel -w dist --no-build-isolation --no-deps $PWD && pip3 install --no-index --find-links dist --no-cache-dir --no-user Brotli
