mgorny opened a new pull request, #45580: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/45580
### What changes are included in this PR? Add a `PYARROW_BUILD_ARROW_CPP` environment variable and a corresponding `--build-arrow-cpp` option that enables automatically building the Arrow C++ libraries as part of `setup.py` invocation and using them to build PyArrow afterwards. This is a prototype / proof-of-concept. ### Are these changes tested? This change introduces an additional build path. I've tested it locally. ### Are there any user-facing changes? It introduces a new option, primarily aimed at downstream packagers — though I suppose some users building from source may also want to use it. If the approach is sound, updating https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html#build-and-test may make sense. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
