Problem invoking the build

[JohnNorrbom]

How to replicate:

OS: Windows 11 Home
IDE: Qt Creator
Build device: Desktop
Run device: Desktop
Compiler: MinGW (C++, x86 64 bit)
Debugger: None
Qt version: 5.15.16 (mingw64)
CMake Tool: CMake 3.31.5
CMake generator: Ninja
CMake Configuration: -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=%{Qt:qmakeExecutable}
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=%{Qt:QT_INSTALL_PREFIX}
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=%{Compiler:Executable:C}
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=%{Compiler:Executable:Cxx}

Building and running gives this output:
13:02:26: Starting C:\Users\Pergu\Documents\superbuild\build\Qt_5_15_16_mingw64_1fcc90-Debug\Mapper-git-dev.exe...
13:02:26: The process failed to start. Either the invoked program "C:\Users\Pergu\Documents\superbuild\build\Qt_5_15_16_mingw64_1fcc90-Debug\Mapper-git-dev.exe" is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the program.

Successful build for desktop (Windows 11) with the mapper project has been made, but I want to build for android and am now trying to figure out how this superbuild works. What configuration or operating system do you use to make it work?

The Android build is known to work on Linux and macOS host. Windows might be troublesome. WSL might help. (Untested.)

You will need extra options to enable the android configuration. With that configuration, there were will be another variant of each target. You can take our CI configuration as a reference:

superbuild/ci/azure-pipelines.yml

	variables:
	IMAGE_NAME: 'macOS-13'
	SUPERBUILD_INSTALL_DIR: $(HOME)/superbuild
	TARGET: aarch64-linux-android
	TARGET_SUFFIX: -$(TARGET)
	ANDROID_API_VERSION: android-29
	pool:
	vmImage: '$(IMAGE_NAME)'
	steps:
	- template: setup-macos.yml
	- template: build.yml
	parameters:
	cmakeArgs: >
	-DENABLE_$(TARGET)=1
	-D$(TARGET)_INSTALL_DIR=$(SUPERBUILD_INSTALL_DIR)/$(TARGET)
	-D$(TARGET)_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
	-D$(TARGET)_TOOLCHAIN_DIR=$(SUPERBUILD_INSTALL_DIR)/$(TARGET)/toolchain
	-DUSE_SYSTEM_SQLITE3=OFF
	-DMapper_GIT_GDAL_DATA_DIR=$(SUPERBUILD_INSTALL_DIR)/$(TARGET)/usr/share/gdal
	-DANDROID_SDK_INSTALL_ROOT=$(HOME)
	-DANDROID_NDK_INSTALL_ROOT=$(HOME)
	-DANDROID_NDK_ROOT=FALSE
	-DANDROID_BUILD_LIBCXX=1
	buildArgs: -j5

So with the target being aarch64-linux-android, there is is -DENABLE_aarch64-linux-android=ON, and it builds an ...-aarch64-linux-android target.
