>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6312
>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: C++
>    Affects Versions: 0.14.1
>            Reporter: Michael Maguire
>            Assignee: Kouhei Sutou
>            Priority: Major

> The current arrow.pc package config file produced is deficient and doesn't properly declare static libraries pre-requisities that must be linked in in order to *statically* link in libarrow.a
> Currently it just has:
> ```
>  Libs: -L${libdir} -larrow
> ```
> But in cases, e.g. where you enabled snappy, brotli or zlib support in arrow, our toolchains need to see an arrow.pc file something more like:
> ```
>  Libs: -L${libdir} -larrow
>  Libs.private: -lsnappy -lboost_system -lz -llz4 -lbrotlidec -lbrotlienc -lbrotlicommon -lzstd
> ```
> If not, we get linkage errors.  I'm told the convention is that if the .a has an UNDEF, the Requires.private plus the Libs.private should resolve all the undefs. See the Libs.private info in [https://linux.die.net/man/1/pkg-config]
>  
> Note, however, as Sutou Kouhei pointed out in [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/5123#issuecomment-522771452,] the additional Libs.private need to be dynamically generated based on whether functionality like snappy, brotli or zlib is enabled..
