             Summary: macOS Debug Build Steps Fail - Could not find a package configuration file provided by "GTest"
                 Key: ARROW-14403
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14403
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++, Developer Tools, Documentation
            Reporter: Will Ayd


When going through the documentation for building Arrow on macOS I noticed that the "Minimal debug build with unit tests" steps failed, throwing an error such as the below:

```

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "GTest" (requested
 version 1.10.0) with any of the following names:

GTestConfig.cmake
 gtest-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "GTest" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
 "GTest_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "GTest"
 provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
 installed.

```

This is fixed by a separate `brew install googletest` call, though that's not super clear from the documentation. Is this something that can be added to the Brewfile, or is that supposed to be as minimal as possible? If not added I think a note in the documentation that extra libraries are required for the debug / test build would be helpful.

Happy to propose a PR for either approach
