Hi Alan,
I'm relatively new as well and had the same problem a few weeks ago.
In my case, Al.exe is part of .NET
Framework 4.8 SDK.
So I solved the problem by going back to the Visual Studio Installer and modifying the installation
to include .NET
Framework 4.8 SDK. I chose this because it was the latest version available on my installer.
Also, be sure to include Windows Universal C Runtime.
I found out that when I chose "Desktop development with C++" workload,
.NET
Framework 4.8 SDK
and Windows Universal C Runtime were not included. You can go to the "Individual components" tab in
the "Modifying" window and select them manually.
Hope this helps.

--with-junit=/cygdrive/c/sources/junit-4.10.jar \
--with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/sources/apache-ant-1.9.5 \
--enable-pch --disable-ccache
After lots of successful assertions, I ran into this error:
checking for al.exe... configure: error: al.exe not found as /al.exe
Error running configure at /cygdrive/c/sources/libo-core/autogen.sh line
316.
Line 316: system ("./configure", @args) && die "Error running

The file al.exe does not exist anywhere on my machine. A web search
suggests that it comes with the MS Visual Studio install and lives in
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 (even though there are
also folders for v3.0, v3.5, and v4.0.30319). I did that as part of my
install, and the directory has 185 files, but no al.exe. I was not able
to find any trustworthy place to just download al.exe.
