> I still think that "-DARROW_DEPENDENCY_SOURCE=SYSTEM" should work with arrow-static. > For this case my opinion is that non-vendored dependencies should not be bundled. Normally I want use the SYSTEM libraries for dependencies. As a developer of a third-party I do not want arrow to add symbols it does not own to my static linking process. @tobim our build system does not select static libraries when using `-DARROW_DEPENDENCY_SOURCE=SYSTEM` so they would not be bundled in `libarrow_bundled_dependencies.a`. That's kind of the whole point of this PR -- only add static libraries to `libarrow_bundled_dependencies.a` that the Arrow build system built itself. If `arrow_static` has shared library dependencies on system libraries, then some other approach will be required to inform CMake automatically when doing `find_package(Arrow)`. It's definitely out of the scope for this PR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
