The git repository is going through a lot of changes. There was a time when the windows dll builds were not working due to some code changes. I would highly recommend you use the svn repo published by the hdf group as that is the official source code repository. Anything on the gitorious server should be considered not supported. If you are specificially looking for the cmake build support the there is a cmake branch of the subversion hosted by the hdf group. Again since it is a branch it may or may not build correctly.
