I'm trying to build ros2 humble release using the Android NDK compiler (v 25) and am receiving issues in trying to build ament_cmake and rclcpp

After following the instructions here for building on Windows 10 (x86): https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Instal...

At the "Build ROS2 step" I'm trying to run colcon build and specifying the Android NDK as cmake arguments:

colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393\build\cmake\android.toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_ANDROID_NDK=D:\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393 -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Android -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=31 -DCMAKE_ANDROID_API=31 -DCMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI=x86_64 -DCMAKE_STL=c++_shared -DANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=clang --merge-install --packages-up-to rclcpp

I receive the following error:

Is it possible to specify a different generator (e.g. Ninja) for a colcon build?

You may start with Android compilation on a Linux or at least wsl installation. Windows is not the best platform for cross compilation.

The ros depended libs have alo to be compiled against the ndk
