anybody successful in compiling apache-arrow?

[Bernd Prager <bernd@prager.ws>]

All,

While trying to install "pyarrow" and not able to find a distribution 
package so far I was trying to compile the Apache Arrow  sources from 
https://arrow.apache.org/ under CYGWIN_NT-10.0 HW-016990 
3.1.5(0.340/5/3).

I tried:
$ mkdir release; cd release/
$ cmake .. -DARROW_JEMALLOC=OFF
$ make

It fails with:

Now since I think this is a rather popular package I was wondering if 
anyone has gone this journey already before me.
(I noticed that Cygwin is not officially supported by Apache Arrow so 
far.)

Was anybody able to successfully compile that package? Any hints, help 
or advise?
Thank you so much,
