Originally created by @0x-2a on GitHub (Nov 1, 2023).

After fresh pull and cmake of 1.1.0 am seeing a symbol lookup error for BrotliEncoderDestroyPreparedDictionary. Are there additional build args needed?

OS: Amazon Linux 2023
Arch: x86

wget https://github.com/google/brotli/archive/refs/tags/v1.1.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf v1.1.0.tar.gz
cd brotli-1.1.0/

mkdir out && cd out
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target install

./install-files/bin/brotli --version
brotli 1.1.0
./install-files/bin/brotli: symbol lookup error: ./install-files/bin/brotli: undefined symbol: BrotliEncoderDestroyPreparedDictionary

The problem is that unless you really install brotli, you have to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to ./installed/lib. Otherwise linked searches and finds system library does not contain mentioned symbol.

@eustas How can I "really install brotli"? Sorry, I'm new to this.

I get it now. To fix this undefined symbol error by "really" installing brotli, I have to set -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a path where the system usually looks into.

- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
+ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..

So when I run Brotli as follows, the error goes away.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64 brotli --version

Now I only need to figure out how to run Brotli without specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH every time.

Thanks anyway!

Update:

For others like me who just want to run Brotli without specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH every time, here's the solution I ended up with.

BROTLI_VERSION="v1.1.0"
INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
INSTALL_LIBDIR="$INSTALL_PREFIX/lib64/brotli"

# build and install
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$INSTALL_DIR -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=$INSTALL_LIBDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target install

# link the libraries that brotli needs at runtime
echo "$INSTALL_LIBDIR" > "/etc/ld.so.conf.d/brotli-$BROTLI_VERSION.conf"
chmod 644 "/etc/ld.so.conf.d/brotli-$BROTLI_VERSION.conf"
ldconfig

Hope this helps.
