Description

Ran into this infuriating issue today. See gist

https://gist.github.com/wesm/c3dd87279ec20b2f2d12665fd264bfef

The cmake invocation that produces this is

cmake -G "Ninja" ^
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%ARROW_HOME% ^
      -DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=on ^
      -DARROW_CXXFLAGS="/WX /MP" ^
      -DARROW_GANDIVA=on ^
      -DARROW_PARQUET=on ^
      -DARROW_PYTHON=on ^
      ..
