Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-8281:
----------------------------------------

Not sure if this is possible, but if it is, you'll find out in [the Bible|https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html], perhaps around [here|https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Creating-shared-objects]?

> Currently we build the R extension for Windows only for CRAN with static linkage. For conda-forge, we though want to build it with dynamic linkage to {{arrow-cpp}}. Here we come into the issue that the R packages as well as the C++ package produces an {{arrow.dll}}. As there is no RPATH equivalent on Windows, the dynamic loader cannot find the right relatonship of both and fails to load the library.
> From my point of view, the simplest approach here would be to name the R {{arrow.dll}} differently, e.g. {{rarrow.dll}}. Would this be possible?
