External issue URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/16553
> Make it possible to compile Arrow with header-only boost
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-954
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-954
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Philipp Moritz
> Assignee: Philipp Moritz
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.4.0
>
>
> For certain build environments, it can be beneficial to have a version of
> arrow that only depends on boost headers:
> - It is less brittle in terms of supporting different build environments than
> dynamically or statically linked boost libraries; also it might make it
> easier to integrate with an in-tree boost in the future.
> - Especially if dynamically linked boost libraries need to be avoided, but
> the resulting binary is compiled as a shared library python extension,
> statically linking boost is not an option (many distributions distribute
> boost static libraries that were compiled without -fPIC)
> We should therefore have a flag that makes arrow compile with a header-only
> boost. This comes at the cost of not supporting the HDFS bridge.
