             Summary: [Python/Documentation] Add required packages to the development instruction
                 Key: ARROW-3940
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3940

          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation, Python
            Reporter: Kengo Seki
            Assignee: Kengo Seki


On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, followed https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/development.html#development and encountered some issues:

1. Building Arrow C++ libraries failed as follows due to the lack of Autotools:

{code}
$ make -j4

(snip)

CMake Error at /home/sekikn/arrow/cpp/build/jemalloc_ep-prefix/src/jemalloc_ep-stamp/jemalloc_ep-configure-RELEASE.cmake:16 (message):
  Command failed: 1

   './autogen.sh' '--prefix=/home/sekikn/arrow/cpp/build/jemalloc_ep-prefix/src/jemalloc_ep/dist/' '--with-jemalloc-prefix=je_arrow_' '--with-private-namespace=je_arrow_private_' '--disable-tls'
{code}

2. After installing autoconf package, building pyarrow failed as follows due to the lack of Python header files:

{code}
$ python setup.py build_ext --build-type=$ARROW_BUILD_TYPE \
>        --with-parquet --with-plasma --inplace

(snip)

3. Building a self-contained wheel failed as well due to the lack of wheel:

{code}
$ python setup.py build_ext --build-type=$ARROW_BUILD_TYPE \
>        --with-parquet --with-plasma --bundle-arrow-cpp bdist_wheel

   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'
{code}
