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.
