Be aware that it is not possible to build OpenJDK on Windows. There are components and build logic missing (FreeType among them) that would be necessary to build a working JDK. Unless you are working on adding the missing components, attempting to build OpenJDK on Windows is probably destined to be a fruitless endeavour. If you are interested in working on adding support for Windows to OpenJDK builds (as opposed to Oracle Java which does have Windows builds) then the jdk 8 project is probably a more worthwhile direction.
