Max Risuhin updated ARROW-681: ------------------------------ Description: Currently CMake recognizes "imported" 3rd party libs as static libraries. That causes issue, if the library should be linked dynamically on Windows. To resolve this IMPORTED_LOCATION property of imported library replaced with special IMPORTED_IMPLIB property. It sets cmake to handle the library as dynamic, not static. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/prop_tgt/IMPORTED_IMPLIB.html Another linking issue on Windows with dynamically linked boost is caused by boost's autolinking feature. Autolinking tells to link against static libs of boost, even if we have turned off usage of static libs in CMAKE. The resolution is to turn off boost's autolinking by preprocessor's defines directly from CMAKE script: ## disable autolinking in boost add_definitions(-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB) ## force all boost libraries to dynamic link add_definitions(-DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK) was: Currently CMake recognizes "imported" 3rd party libs as static libraries.
