===================================
Using Arrow C++ in your own project
===================================
This section assumes you already have the Arrow C++ libraries on your
system, either after installing them using a package manager or after
:ref:`building them yourself <building-arrow-cpp>`.
The recommended way to integrate the Arrow C++ libraries in your own
C++ project is to use CMake's `find_package
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html>`_
function for locating and integrating dependencies. If you don't use
CMake as a build system, you can use `pkg-config
<https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/>`_ to find
installed the Arrow C++ libraries.
CMake
=====
Basic usage
-----------
This minimal ``CMakeLists.txt`` file compiles a ``my_example.cc`` source
file into an executable linked with the Arrow C++ shared library:
.. code-block:: cmake
project(MyExample)
find_package(Arrow REQUIRED)
add_executable(my_example my_example.cc)
target_link_libraries(my_example PRIVATE arrow_shared)
Available variables and targets
-------------------------------
The directive ``find_package(Arrow REQUIRED)`` asks CMake to find an Arrow
C++ installation on your system. When it returns, it will have set a few
CMake variables:
* ``${Arrow_FOUND}`` is true if the Arrow C++ libraries have been found
* ``${ARROW_VERSION}`` contains the Arrow version string
* ``${ARROW_FULL_SO_VERSION}`` contains the Arrow DLL version string
In addition, it will have created some targets that you can link against
(note these are plain strings, not variables):
* ``arrow_shared`` links to the Arrow shared libraries
* ``arrow_static`` links to the Arrow static libraries
In most cases, it is recommended to use the Arrow shared libraries.
.. note::
CMake is case-sensitive. The names and variables listed above have to be
spelt exactly that way!
.. seealso::
A Docker-based :doc:`minimal build example <examples/cmake_minimal_build>`.
pkg-config
==========
Basic usage
-----------
You can get suitable build flags by the following command line:
.. code-block:: shell
pkg-config --cflags --libs arrow
If you want to link the Arrow C++ static library, you need to add
``--static`` option:
.. code-block:: shell
pkg-config --cflags --libs --static arrow
This minimal ``Makefile`` file compiles a ``my_example.cc`` source
file into an executable linked with the Arrow C++ shared library:
.. code-block:: makefile
my_example: my_example.cc
$(CXX) -o $@ $(CXXFLAGS) $< $$(pkg-config --cflags --libs arrow)
Many build systems support pkg-config. For example:
* `GNU Autotools <https://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html#using>`_
* `CMake <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPkgConfig.html>`_
(But you should use ``find_package(Arrow)`` instead.)
* `Meson <https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual.html#dependency>`_
Available packages
------------------
The Arrow C++ provides a pkg-config package for each module. Here are
all available packages:
* ``arrow-csv``
* ``arrow-cuda``
* ``arrow-dataset``
* ``arrow-filesystem``
* ``arrow-flight-testing``
* ``arrow-flight``
* ``arrow-json``
* ``arrow-orc``
* ``arrow-python-flight``
* ``arrow-python``
* ``arrow-tensorflow``
* ``arrow-testing``
* ``arrow``
* ``gandiva``
* ``parquet``
* ``plasma``
