C++ LNK2001 after linking libprotobuf.lib

[DuKeM-CSGO]

Seems like a dup of #12693, #12637, #12292.
I use ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("src/deps/protobuf") in the root and the following is the CMakeLists.txt in the sub dir:

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 3.26)

FETCHCONTENT_DECLARE(
	protobuf
	GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf.git
	GIT_TAG v23.2
)

FETCHCONTENT_GETPROPERTIES(protobuf)
IF(NOT protobuf_POPULATED)
	FETCHCONTENT_POPULATE(protobuf)
ENDIF()

SET(PROTOBUF_BINARY_LIB
	"${protobuf_BINARY_DIR}/install/lib/libprotobuf$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:d>.lib"
)

SET(PROTOBUF_BINARY_PROTOC
	"${protobuf_BINARY_DIR}/install/bin/protoc.exe"
	PARENT_SCOPE
)

SET(protobuf_BINARY_DIR ${protobuf_BINARY_DIR} PARENT_SCOPE)
SET(protobuf_SOURCE_DIR ${protobuf_SOURCE_DIR} PARENT_SCOPE)

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
	OUTPUT ${PROTOBUF_BINARY_LIB} ${PROTOBUF_BINARY_PROTOC}
	DEPENDS ${protobuf_SOURCE_DIR}
	WORKING_DIRECTORY ${protobuf_BINARY_DIR}
	COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./install" -Dprotobuf_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -Dprotobuf_BUILD_CONFORMANCE=OFF -Dprotobuf_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -Dprotobuf_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -Dprotobuf_MSVC_STATIC_RUNTIME=OFF -DABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -Dprotobuf_ABSL_PROVIDER="module" -G "${CMAKE_GENERATOR}" -T "${CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET}" -A "${CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM}" "${protobuf_SOURCE_DIR}"
	COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --config Release --target install -v -- -r
	COMMENT "Building protoc"
)

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(
	protobuf_build
	DEPENDS protobuf
	SOURCES ${PROTOBUF_BINARY_LIB} ${PROTOBUF_BINARY_PROTOC}
)

ADD_DEPENDENCIES(
	${PROJECT_NAME}
	protobuf_build
)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(
	${PROJECT_NAME}
	PRIVATE "${PROTOBUF_BINARY_LIB}"
)

TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
	${PROJECT_NAME}
	PRIVATE "${protobuf_BINARY_DIR}/install/include"
)

Then I see libprotobuf.lib is built successfully, but it can't build the main.exe which includes libprotobuf.lib and pb.ccs:

Anything I can do? I only want to use cmake to build the project, no manually git clone or installing an external abseil. Neither including absl in my own CMakelists.txt.
