What does this mean? It is not clear enough.

Do not put the JDK clone in a path under your Cygwin home directory. This

<https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/doc/building.md#running-configure>

I deleted the OpenJDK  download

$ ls
jdk  jdk-22.0.1  openjdk-22.0.1_windows-x64_bin.zip

anilr@ANIL-LAPTOP ~
$ rm -rf jdk-22.0.1/ openjdk-22.0.1_windows-x64_bin.zip

anilr@ANIL-LAPTOP ~
$ cd jdk

anilr@ANIL-LAPTOP ~/jdk
$ bash configure

same error.
I went in to  /etc/nsswitch.conf
and changed
db_home:  /c/Users/Anil/OpenJDK
to
db_home:  /c/Users/Anil/Documents/Projects
$ pwd
/c/Users/Anil/Documents/Projects

anilr@ANIL-LAPTOP ~
$ cd ../../OpenJDK/jdk
anilr@ANIL-LAPTOP /c/Users/Anil/OpenJDK/jdk
$ bash configure
configure: error: Cannot locate a valid Visual Studio installation
