protocol buffer and abseil

[Graham Walsh]

Hi,

I cannot get the link order right for a protocol buffer project. 

 g++ -I../protobuf/third_party/abseil-cpp -I../protobuf/src/     ./my_protoc_plugin.cc -o my_protoc_plugin     -L/home/gwalsh/protobuf/build/lib -L/home/gwalsh/protobuf/build/third_party/abseil-cpp     -lprotobuf -lprotoc -labsl_base -labsl_strings -labsl_flags_internal     -labsl_time  -labsl_hash -labsl_cord -labsl_synchronization     -ldl -lpthread

This generates an abundance of link errors (below)|

Chasing these down goes nowhere. I need to know whats the link order for abseil. Lets say I wanted to link against EVERY libabseil*.a static lib. What is the correct order? 

I wish google protocol buffers wasnt build with abseil. Nothing but issues.
