Description

I am trying to build the python pyarrow extension on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2015 Build Tools and the current stable CMake.

Following the instructions to the letter, CMake fails with the error:

CMake Error at cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake:42 (string):
?? string no output variable specified??
Call Stack (most recent call first):
?? CMakeLists.txt:357 (include)??

---

Complete output:
