Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-5101:
---------------------------------------
Static libraries are probably used much more often on Unix than on Windows,
where DLLs are the norm. So it makes sense to still ship static libraries on
Unix if it doesn't pose a problem.
> [Packaging] Avoid bundling static libraries in Windows conda packages

> Key: ARROW-5101

> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: C++, Packaging
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
>
> We're currently bundling static libraries in Windows conda packages.
> Unfortunately, it causes these to be quite large:
> {code:bash}
> $ ls -la ./Library/lib
> total 507808

> We should probably only ship dynamic libraries under Windows, as those are
> reasonably small.
