Thanks for reporting @oraix. Have you made any progress? If not, can you also share the steps and output of the Arrow C++ build?

Mind having a look at this PR @jonkeane @thisisnic? Wasn't sure if this should go to the R dev docs or in the New Contributor's Guide.

+1 @jonkeane, thank you! Will include suggested and ping when I am done 🙏

@jonkeane I think I have addressed all of you comments and the PR should be ready for another round of review.
