---------------------------------

             Summary: [Python][Documentation] Build docs don't suggest assigning $ARROW_BUILD_TYPE
                 Key: ARROW-5165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5165
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Developer Tools, Documentation, Python
    Affects Versions: 0.14.0
            Reporter: Rok Mihevc
            Assignee: Rok Mihevc


[Build documentation|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html] is great. However it does not explicitly suggest assigning a value to `ARROW_BUILD_TYPE` and the error thrown is not obvious:
{code:bash}
...
 [100%] Built target _parquet
 – Finished cmake --build for pyarrow
 Bundling includes: include
 error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'include'
{code}
This cost me a couple of hours to debug.

Could we include a note in [build documentation|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html] suggesting devs to run:
{code:bash}
export ARROW_BUILD_TYPE=release
{code}
