Uwe L. Korn created ARROW-189: --------------------------------- Summary: C++: Use ExternalProject to build thirdparty dependencies Key: ARROW-189 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-189 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Uwe L. Korn
My main incentive here is that I want to have a Python sdist that can be installed with a simple `pip install ./dist/pyarrow.tar.gz` (so we could provide source distributions on PyPI). This will still let the install of pyarrow depend on CMake but at least we would have the ability of a source distribution. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
