Seeking help with Windows build using v7.6.1.1

[Andrew Richardson]

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
