Will Jones created ARROW-16914: ---------------------------------- Summary: [Docs][C++] Add example of using ExternalProject_Add to use Arrow Key: ARROW-16914 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16914 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++, Documentation Affects Versions: 8.0.0 Reporter: Will Jones
We've [given advice|https://stackoverflow.com/a/59939033/2048858] to use {{ExternalProject_Add}} to build Arrow from source within a users CMake project. (Correct me if I am wrong that that is the preferred method now.) But I found it non-trivial to implement this. We should add a simple example of doing this to the User Guide. We should also mention that we don't support {{add_subdirectory}} as that seems to be a common gotcha as well. This might overlap with ARROW-9740, but I don't quite understand what that issue is proposing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
