Description
We've given advice to use ExternalProject_Add to build Arrow from source within a users CMake project. (Correct me if I am wrong that that is the preferred method now.) But I found it non-trivial to implement this.
We should add a simple example of doing this to the User Guide. We should also mention that we don't support add_subdirectory as that seems to be a common gotcha as well.
This might overlap with ARROW-9740, but I don't quite understand what that issue is proposing.
