Unclear on the abseil dependency for protnbuf c++

[Sundar Swamy]

Building protobuf c++ from source v27.3 on Windows using visual studio 2022, platform toolset v143, with std c++14
Apologies for my ignorance here in understanding the abseil dependency to protobuf .
Referring to this link, i have to install abseil to compile from source. but the git submodule already pulls in the third party/abseil and i am able to build without setting any of these configuration params as indicated here
-Dprotobuf_ABSL_PROVIDER=package
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/tmp/absl # Path to where I installed Abseil

#13483 (comment)
i guess the commit version that refers in submodule from 2023 branch of abseil
Please advise

I am also building v27.3 on Mac OS 10.15.7 as universal binary. ran the unit tests and failing

<$?> cmake -Dprotobuf_WITH_ZLIB=OFF -CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64;x86_64" -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=14 -DABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD=ON ..

The output says failed, not able to see any failed test per se. how do I find this?

3/3 Test #3: upb-test ......................... Passed 8.10 sec
67% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 3
2 - full-test (Subprocess aborted)
