Hi Kevin,

You are the man! Yes, it works this way!

I am wondering (sorry if the question is naive): Since I am compiling 
from source, shouldn't the source code include all necessary modules? 
Why an OS package (brotli-devel) should be required?

If the source code does not include some required modules, could / 
should we clone some additional code from brotli git to generate the 
modules instead of using brotli-devel package?

I am asking because I fear (possibly falsely) that at some point 
brotli-devel and brotli source might belong to different software 
versions and thus the compilation might then be impossible or generate 
inoperative modules.

Thanks a lot for your kind help.

Cheers,
Nick
