Minimal example of including Arrow in a C++ project using CMake and FetchContent

arrow-cmake-fetchcontent

A minimal and fairly self-contained example of using CMake to use Arrow C++ in a separate C++ project. This uses FetchContent instead of ExternalProject to include Arrow C++.

Pre-requisites

• git
• cmake
• A C++ compiler toolchain

Building

1. git clone https://github.com/amoeba/arrow-cmake-fetchcontent
2. cd arrow-cmake-fetchcontent
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. cmake .. This fetches Arrow from GitHub so it takes a bit and produces no output
6. cmake --build .
7. ./example

Next steps

• Make it easier to check out different versions of Arrow
• Document how to customize the Arrow build
