I'm working on a C++ CMake project that uses Apache Arrow as a dependency. My goal is to be able to include and use arrow/api.h. However, I couldn't find any documentation or tutorial that explains what I can do to achieve that so my first thought was to add it as a third library using CMake's FetchContent, hence, I added the following code to my CMakeLists.txt:
include(FetchContent REQUIRED)
# INCLUDING APACHE ARROW ================================ #
message(STATUS "Searching for Apache Arrow")
FetchContent_Declare(
arrow
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/apache/arrow.git
GIT_TAG apache-arrow-0.15.1
)
FetchContent_GetProperties(arrow)
if(NOT arrow_POPULATED)
message(STATUS "Populating Arrow")
FetchContent_Populate(arrow)
add_subdirectory(${arrow_SOURCE_DIR}/cpp ${arrow_BINARY_DIR})
endif()
I can find the code inside my project now - still can't use include arrow/api.h though - but whenever I try to build it I receive errors from the CMakeLists.txt of Apache Arrow cpp src directory! Here's the CMake build log that contains the error:

Am I missing something here? is this the correct way to include Apache Arrow in an existing project? Any idea how can I fix this error?
I'm using Windows 10 but would finally want to run the project on Linux!
