             Summary: CMake Build w/boost_ep fails on Windows - "%1 is not a valid Win32 application"
                 Key: ARROW-6027
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6027
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Jonathan McDevitt
         Attachments: _release64CMakeBuildLogs.txt, _release64CMakeLogs.txt

Hi all,

I seem to be running into an issue when building Apache Arrow for Windows. It fails to build boost; in the CMake output it says

 
{code:java}
CMake Error at D:/Staging/arrow/cpp/release64/boost_ep-prefix/src/boost_ep-stamp/boost_ep-configure-Release.cmake:49 (message):
    Command failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

    './bootstrap.sh' '--prefix=D:/Staging/arrow/cpp/release64/boost_ep-prefix/src/boost_ep' '--with-libraries=filesystem,regex,system'
{code}
I've been trying to address this issue, and am currently investigating using a pre-build Boost library as a workaround, but the expectation is that this should work out of the box. I have attached logs demonstrating this behaviour. The initial step of running CMake for Windows 64 is fine, but the actual build step is what fails, and the boost_ep-configure-*.log files are empty so there is nothing there to give an idea of what's going on.

 
h2. **Expected Behaviour

When building Apache Arrow 0.14.x, build should work out of the box when VS 2015 build tools are present and the environment is configured with vcvarsall for the appropriate architecture.
h2. Observed Behaviour

Build fails with error: 
{code:java}
Command failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

    './bootstrap.sh' '--prefix=D:/Staging/arrow/cpp/release64/boost_ep-prefix/src/boost_ep' '--with-libraries=filesystem,regex,system'{code}
h2. Steps to Reproduce
 # Sync to Maintenance 0.14.x with 'git clone -b maint-0.14.x [https://github.com/apache/arrow.git']
 # Following the instructions at [https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/source/developers/cpp.rst]:
 ## Create a 'build' directory from which to run CMake and generate the appropriate build files.
 ## Run "%VS140COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
 ## From within the build directory, run "cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=ON"
 ### Alternatively, if running Ninja, run "cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="cl.exe" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="cl.exe" -DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=ON"
 ## Observe error.

Thanks,
~Jon
