Hi all,
Trying to build cpp Arrow with MSVC 2019, as per
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/cpp/windows.html.
The first step -
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=ON
says it can't find gflags and will build them from source:
-- Building gflags from source
-- Added static library dependency gflags::gflags_static:
C:/Users/avertleyb/git/arrow/cpp/build/gflags_ep-prefix/src/gflags_ep/lib/gflags_static.lib
The second step -
cmake --build . --config Release
right away complains about this library:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
'C:\Users\avertleyb\git\arrow\cpp\build\gflags_ep-prefix\src\gflags_ep\lib\gflags_static.lib'
[C:\Users\avertleyb\git\arrow\cpp\build\src\arrow\arrow_bundled_dependencies.vcxproj]
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(241,5):

exited with code 1181. [C:\Users\avertleyb\git\arrow\cpp\build\src\arrow\arro
w_bundled_dependencies.vcxproj]
However it proceeds with the build, and when the build ends, the library is
there:
C:\Users\avertleyb\git\arrow\cpp\build>dir

0 Dir(s) 288,920,072,192 bytes free
So what is wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
