make fails with linker errors in abseil package

[riteshsinha-ritz]

I am trying to compile this on Centos 8 machine. I had to install abseil-cpp-devel, zlib-devel, zlib-static and openssl-devel packages via dnf command. The cmake step passes but the make step fails -

/home/$ cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/ -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl  ..

My doubts are on the abseil-cpp package. The README mentions -
Note that Abseil must be built with the C++17 standard and include the StatusOr package (release 2020_09_23 or later).
I see that in CMakeLists.txt, we already set the C++ version to 17 - https://github.com/google/cpu-check/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L52.
The installed abseil-cpp shows that the version is indeed 2020-09-23 -

Could someone please help with this? Any reference to existing documentation for generating the cpu-check binary would be great. Thanks.
