Thanks for the report 🙏

For reference, the problem has been discussed in the this post [error: Failed to obtain launcher executable name !](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/error-failed-to-obtain-launcher-executable-name/10913)

While the problem has been addressed in recent version of Slicer, a workaround is also discussed in [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/4787#issuecomment-606220350](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/4787#issuecomment-606220350)

Now, is there a specific reason you are trying to build version 4.10.2 from source ? If not, I suggest you build the latest version.
