raulcd opened a new pull request, #48179: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/48179
### Rationale for this change As a follow up of requiring a minimum CMake version >= 3.25 we discussed moving our dependencies from ExternalProject to FetchContent. This can simplify our third party dependency management. Moving RE2 is the next step before moving Protobuf and gRPC. ### What changes are included in this PR? The general change is moving from `ExternalProject` to `FetchContent`. It also add some required integration due to other dependencies, like gRPC, using `ExternalProject`. We not only have to build but also install in order for those other dependencies to find RE2. This causes some timing issues between config, build, install that requires us to create a custom target to depend on so the other dependencies find abseil. ### Are these changes tested? Yes, the changes are tested locally and on CI. ### Are there any user-facing changes? No -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
