error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage

[phongnguyen1023]

When building Protobuf 3.29.2, I added \third_party\abseil-cpp\ to build. So I have an issue

libprotobuf.lib(descriptor.pb.cc.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage & __cdecl absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage::operator<<<unsigned __int64,0>(unsigned __int64 const &)" (??$?6_K$0A@@LogMessage@log_internal@lts_20240722@absl@@QEAAAEAV0123@AEB_K@Z) libprotobuf.lib(feature_resolver.cc.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage & __cdecl absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage::operator<<<unsigned __int64,0>(unsigned __int64 const &)" (??$?6_K$0A@@LogMessage@log_internal@lts_20240722@absl@@QEAAAEAV0123@AEB_K@Z) libprotobuf.lib(repeated_ptr_field.cc.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage & __cdecl absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage::operator<<<unsigned __int64,0>(unsigned __int64 const &)" (??$?6_K$0A@@LogMessage@log_internal@lts_20240722@absl@@QEAAAEAV0123@AEB_K@Z) libprotobuf.lib(extension_set_heavy.cc.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage & __cdecl absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage::operator<<<unsigned __int64,0>(unsigned __int64 const &)" (??$?6_K$0A@@LogMessage@log_internal@lts_20240722@absl@@QEAAAEAV0123@AEB_K@Z) libprotobuf.lib(extension_set.cc.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: class absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage & __cdecl absl::lts_20240722::log_internal::LogMessage::operator<<<unsigned __int64,0>(unsigned __int64 const &)" (??$?6_K$0A@@LogMessage@log_internal@lts_20240722@absl@@QEAAAEAV0123@AEB_K@Z)

I set default CMakeLists.txt for Protobuf, abseil-cpp, utf8_range. Looks like a compiler issue.
Is there any way to fix the above issue?

Hi @phongnguyen1023, thank you for the report. To help us repro, do you mind filling this out? Thank you.

**What version of protobuf and what language are you using?**
Version: main/v3.6.0/v3.5.0 etc. (NOTE: please try updating to the latest version of protoc/runtime possible beforehand to attempt to resolve your problem)
Language: C++/Java/Python/C#/Ruby/PHP/Objective-C/Javascript

**What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?**

**What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g., python version or gcc version)**

**What did you do?**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

**What did you expect to see**

**What did you see instead?**

Make sure you include information that can help us debug (full error message, exception listing, stack trace, logs).

Trying the latest version now...

[michael-o]

Although I can reproduce the issue, but as soon as I rebuild my poudriere set, the problem is gone.

I strongly believe that this related to faulty package/build of libabseil. Look at the signature mismatch. Please try to rebuild libasbeil and see whether this changes anything for you.
