I don't know where is a problem, is there anyone who knows about this?

Have you tried this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19874546/createprocess-error-2-the-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified-android-studio — Masoom Badi, Apr 07 '18 at 20:55
I think problem is that gradle can't find sdk or ndk location. Are your paths correct? — Vygintas B, Apr 11 '18 at 08:00
All errors are mips related. Have you tried to explicitly set the list of wanted abis and leave mips out? This should be possible using the gradle entry `abiFilters`. — Robert, Apr 14 '18 at 13:07

Link Gradle to your native library by providing a path to your CMake or ndk-build script file. Gradle uses the build script to import source code into your Android Studio project and package your native library (the SO file) into the APK.

If your existing project uses the deprecated ndkCompile tool, you should open your build.properties file and remove the following line of code before configuring Gradle to use CMake or ndk-build:

// Remove this line
android.useDeprecatedNdk = true

It seems your ndk is corrupted or damaged.

If i was you, I would try

Update or try delete old ndk and download latest ndk
Also i think you are running old Android Studio, why don't you update your Android Studio and Gralde version, i always love when new stable Android Studio comes because android update is one man army to unknown bugs. :)
