cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr   \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release    \
      -D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
      -D ABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD=ON   \
      -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON        \
      -G Ninja ..                    &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Command Explanations

-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.

-D ABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD=ON: This parameter enables propagating C++ features to targets that link to this package's libraries.

-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON: This parameter builds shared versions of the libraries provided by this package instead of static libraries.
