Alenka Frim commented on ARROW-18126:
-------------------------------------
This variable was added in the commit of the PyArrow refactoring:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/13311/commits/ea45ed425d65a1c46469a7fb45bcb29f2f02cacd]
and most of it was included in the test section which is now removed. The rest
of it was in the flight section which is now changed but I haven't been able to
found a commit at this moment.
In any case, I think this variable is not needed anymore and can be removed.
Great catch Joris!
> [Python] ARROW_BUILD_DIR might be ignored for building pyarrow?
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-18126
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18126
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche
> Priority: Major
>
> When building pyarrow, I see the following warning:
> {code}
> CMake Warning:
> Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
> ARROW_BUILD_DIR
> {code}
> While we have a note in our docs
> (https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/developers/python.html#build-and-test)
> that says:
> bq. If you used a different directory name for building Arrow C++ (by default
> it is named “build”), then you should also set the environment variable
> {{ARROW_BUILD_DIR='name_of_build_dir'}}. This way PyArrow can find the Arrow
> C++ built files.
> I see in the setup.py code that we check for this env variable and pass it to
> CMake, but it's not actually used in any of the CMakeLists.txt files for
> pyarrow.
> This might have been accidentally changed in one of the recent cmake
> refactors? (cc [~kou] [~alenka])
