Wes McKinney created ARROW-224:
----------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Address static linking of boost dependencies
Key: ARROW-224
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-224
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C++
Reporter: Wes McKinney
As a follow up to ARROW-222, we will want to provide the option of standalone
shared Arrow libraries, or at least forcing certain dependencies (like boost)
to be statically linked. The problem with this is that many Linux distributions
do not compile the boost static libs with {{-fPIC}}, so you get linker errors
(see https://travis-ci.org/apache/arrow/jobs/139374716#L1430).
In our CI builds, it would be best to avoid building boost from source each
time, so I switched things to depend on boost shared libraries at runtime, but
it would be nice to have the option to statically link assuming an
appropriately-compiled boost.
