How to resolve this error@S_E_E_N_U this output does not contain any error information. Look before these lines to see what really is failing.
In general I'd say this: try to compile with
qmakeinstead. Back in those days (Qt 5.12),cmakesupport was not as good in building Qt as it is today.(Z(:^

I'm pretty sure that the OP was using configure ... make, so qmake (there was never the option to build Qt 5 itself with CMake). The error is from qtwebengine though, which uses gn/ninja for the Chromium parts. Not something you can change easily...

@kkoehne ah right, makes sense. I was surprised to see
ninjain Qt 5.12 but thought maybe I just don't remember that it was possible to usecmake. But now that's clear, this ninja call comes from one of the web modules which I don't use.
