I was able to build it. Do you need it to be from the git repo?
to get the language data, you can use curl and download it from the google
code site:
curl -L -o tesseract-ocr-3.02.tar.gz
https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz
I have included a shell script that I have used to build it recently.
