What version of gRPC and what language are you using?
1.78.1
What operating system (Linux, Windows,...) and version?
Alpine Linux 3.23.3
What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g. python version or version of gcc)
Python 3.12.12
gcc 15.2.0
What did you do?
#41639 introduces a dependency on abseil from Python code. The code itself works fine, but it causes an error for package maintainers if building with GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ABSL=1. The dependency is hardcoded to the third_party dir for vendored dependencies, causing the following failure during build when building against abseil as a system dependency:
cc1plus: fatal error: third_party/abseil-cpp/absl/log/initialize.cc: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
What did you expect to see?
Build success
What did you see instead?
cc1plus: fatal error: third_party/abseil-cpp/absl/log/initialize.cc: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Anything else we should know about your project / environment?
Potential patch to fix this behaviour:
