You have not defined a path for --with-jdk-home. It is explained here: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnWindows#Install_Java


I notice that you seem to be following the instructions on the Windows 
article that go beyond the point that says:


"The Easiest way to perform the following is to use LODE , which 
automates all that is necessary, beyond installing Visual Studio and Java.


If you want to do it the hard way, continue reading."

It would be good to use an autogen.input as I advised you.

Also, Miklos has a point about JDK version in his email.

Update to Java 17 from your old 11. :-)
