Protobuf dependencies on absl

[Szabolcs Lenart]

Hello Everyone!

Building protobuf generates in lib folder: 

• (1) protobuf libs - libprotoc, libprotobuf-lite, libprotobuf
• (2) utf8_validity, utf8_range libs
  
• (3) absl libs - 83 libs 

When using protobuf for a C++ project in Visual Studio I have to link (of course) the main library (libprotobuf) and to link the helper libs. My question is:

 

We need all the libraries - (2) and (3) - from lib folder linked? 

If not, there is a published list of libs needed to be linked?  It is not easy to add one by one the libs, because you have to search every missing method's location - it would be great to know the list dependencies.

Thank you,
