-------------------------------------
Summary: Linking error for debug build on Windows
Key: ARROW-15298
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15298
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Windows 10
Reporter: Zois Tasoulas
I experienced a linking error while building the debug flavor of the project I
am working on, that links dynamically the arrow libraries, on Windows.
Specifically the error is described in [Linker Tools Warning
LNK4098|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/tool-errors/linker-tools-warning-lnk4098?view=msvc-170].
The issue stems from the following CMake line,
[arrow/cpp/cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/8b440d1b5df4a0e58bcaa422b83e6d6ff1213b5f/cpp/cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake#L643].
The solution that worked in my case was to explicitly mention which libraries
to exclude when building the release and debug flavor, following the table at
[Linker Tools Warning
LNK4098|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/tool-errors/linker-tools-warning-lnk4098?view=msvc-170].
Specifically the aforementioned link to the Microsoft page describes in detail
which libraries to exclude when linking dynamically with C run-time, i.e.,
{code:bash}
NOT ARROW_USE_STATIC_CRT{code}
.
Additionally, for debug flavor builds, the /MDd or /MTd options might need to
be set explicitly. I pass that from my project's configuration but I think it
is not done explicitly within Arrow CMake files. Relevant link [Linker Tools
Error

version [...]"

dealt with the same issue: ARROW-4014
