Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-1536:
-------------------------------------
[~mdeepak] I took a quick look at this. {{boost::system}} symbols are getting
pulled in as a transitive dependency to {{boost::filesystem}}. We need
{{boost::filesystem}} for handling unicode file paths on Windows. Trying to
conditionally use boost::filesystem only on Windows would be a lot of work
without a great deal of benefit.
One solution to this problem would be to add an option to vendor the requisite
Boost bits in parquet-cpp, like we've done in Arrow

> [C++] Do not transitively depend on libboost_system

> We picked up this dependency recently. I don't think this is a blocker for
> 0.7.0, but it impacts static linkers (e.g. linkers of parquet-cpp)
> This was introduced in ARROW-1339
