Hello everyone, I've noticed that in our CMakeLists.txt files, we have
multiple instances where we conditionally select either the static or
shared version of a linked target based on a cache variable such as
ARROW_BUILD_SHARED. For example, the following pattern appears in several
places:
if(ARROW_BUILD_SHARED)
set(PARQUET_EXAMPLE_LINK_LIBS parquet_shared)
else()
set(PARQUET_EXAMPLE_LINK_LIBS parquet_static)
endif()
I’m wondering if there is a specific reason we don’t set the static/shared
property of the libraries in a single location, and instead continue
duplicating this kind of logic throughout the codebase?
