Uwe L. Korn resolved ARROW-954. ------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Issue resolved by pull request 647 [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/647] > 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 > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
