Alenka Frim created ARROW-17891:
-----------------------------------
Summary: [Docs][Python] Update and sync Win section of the
developers/python page
Key: ARROW-17891
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17891
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, Python
Reporter: Alenka Frim
Assignee: Alenka Frim
Some of the things that are missing/outdated:
* {{ARROW_HOME}} should be same as in Linux&MacOs section (only {{dist}})
* setting of the {{PATH}} variable is not needed as Python doesn't use it
anymore in the dll search path (3.8+)
* use Python 3.10
* it seems that invoking cmake in Win is case sensitive as the following
{code:java}
cmake --build . --target INSTALL --config Release {code}
didn't work for me and this did:
{code:java}
cmake --build . --target install --config Release {code}
I see the same on
[AppVeyor|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/ci/appveyor-cpp-build.bat#L91].
I needed to set {{ARROW_STATIC=OFF}} to make the Arrow C++ build successful and
I see the same in the [AppVeyor
build|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/ci/appveyor-cpp-build.bat#L61].
Not sure why this is needed, but it should also be added in the docs.
