1.0 Hi Tomas. Please post a full log when you run cmake configure. I’ve never used the gui tool, but from a terminal, run these commands:
> cd <path-to-build-directory>
> rm -f CMakeCache.txt
> cmake -GNinja <path-to-cmb-superbuild-source-directory>
The output should look like the following. (Click on “Console Log”)

2. Send a file with your log so we can compare.
3. If your cmake call succeeds, DONT PROCEED TO BUILD. Because we still need to set up Qt.
4. As for Qt, you need to go back and specifically install Qt version 5.15 (on Linux I am pretty sure the installer has 5.15.2). Sometime this year we should update CMB to Qt 6 but we are not there yet.
5. I’m getting ahead of things, but after cmake is configuring and Qt 5.15 is installed, you want to rerun cmake with the following command to set the path to the installed Qt5. (Otherwise the superbuild will try to build Qt which can take a real long time and I’m not sure will succeed.)
> cmake -GNinja USE_SYSTEM_qt5=ON Qt5_DIR=<path-to-installed-Qt5-cmake-dir>
The “path-to-installed-Qt5-cmake-dir” starts with where you installed Qt on WSL. (The default is probably ~/Qt but you might be using something else.) From install directory, the relative path is to what cmake needs is .../5.15.2/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5. Use the full/absolute path to that directory for .
