I figured out that that error (which appeared during compilation of
native decora shaders) came from a missing entry in
windows.tools.properties:
While working on pull request openjdk/jfx#488, I found the sample
'windows_tools.properties' file in the Wiki to be unhelpful. You don't
need it, and it was only a source of additional errors and confusion for
me. I think we should delete that section from the Wiki.
It was over a year ago when I ran into problems with the Windows build,
but if I remember correctly, you need to do just the following:
1. Define the environment variables correctly.
2. When encountering errors, delete the entire 'build' directory after
each run. That will force the build to regenerate the correct
'windows_tools.properties' file (and not use the old incorrect one).
Step 1 is found below. The very important parts are to (a) include
'/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32' in your PATH, and (b) define the
'VS150COMNTOOLS' environment variable:

Step 2 is:
$ rm -r build
