Welcome here.
And don't worry about questions.

That's because they are first modules with gbuild building system.

It's most probably because you have LibreOffice sources in /home.
I would think it works by now but obviously not. Maybe I will
investigate why later.
Sorry for this, preferred way is to have sources in C:/Libo or one
directory lower but not too much.
I have C:/Git/Libo

It's http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/solenv/gbuild/platform/WNT_INTEL_MSC.mk#n338

I don't know, the script used is: solenv/bin/build.pl
But that's not necessary bad because you don't need to build what already is.

Windows tinderboxes are green [1], so hopefully you will get your build soon.

All the best,
Matus
