What version of protobuf and what language are you using?
Version: 4.25.3

What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?
RHEL7

Below error while trying to build protobuf. Tried including -DBUILD_DEPS:BOOL=ON but didn't work.

CMake Error at cmake/abseil-cpp.cmake:36 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "absl" with any of
the following names:

abslConfig.cmake
absl-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "absl" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"absl_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "absl"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:294 (include)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
