Seeking help with Windows build using v7.6.1.1

[Andrew Richardson <spun69@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all

Firstimer here, trying to set up initial Windows 11 build environment.  I have followed the LODE instructions, using Visual Studio 2022 Community edition.

I have set my 'dev/core' build tree to the 'libreoffice-7.6.1.1' tag using git checkout.

I am seeing a few issues when doing a clean build.  Full build log (using make -k switch) is available at link below.

Appreciate any help to fix these issues.

Thanks,

Andrew Richardson
