mgorny opened a new issue, #45576: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/45576
### Describe the enhancement requested Currently, building `pyarrow` from source requires [building and installing the C++ library first](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html#build-and-test). This can be a bit of inconvenience since it requires additional steps outside the standard Python package build process if we wish to build both the C++ and Python library simultaneously. I'd like to propose adding a new option to enable building the C++ library as part of the Python `CMakeLists.txt` (possibly as a subproject). While this would admittedly still require some system dependencies, it would make it easier to build matching versions of Arrow C++ and Python libraries in a single step, using a tool such as `pip` or `build`. I would like to attempt making a pull request for this. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
