Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-11460:
----------------------------------------
By "if present", do you mean detect them at runtime rather than compile-time?
> [R] Use system compression libraries if present on Linux
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-11460
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11460
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: R
> Reporter: Neal Richardson
> Priority: Major
>
> We vendor/bundle all compression libraries and have them disabled in the
> default build. This is reliable, but it would be nice to use system libraries
> if they're present.
> It's not as simple as setting {{ARROW_DEPENDENCY_SOURCE=AUTO}} because we
> have to know if we're using them in order to set the right `-lwhatever` flags
> in the R package build. Maybe these can be determined from the C++
> build/cmake output rather than detected outside the build (but this may
> require ARROW-6312).
