Are you following one of these guides : https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#Windows_7.2C_Windows_8.1.2C_Windows_10
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Windows I confess I haven't done a build for a year or two now, but when I did a successful build I contributed to the page in the first link to document the process, and others have contributed in the meantime to make it possible to build with 64bit cygwin. Now that Windows 10 has WSL2 it might be interesting to try a build that way instead of using cygwin, but for a first successful build I would suggest following the above guides step by step.
