What gave you the idea you had to build from source?
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/Installation

For MS-Windows systems:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/WindowsInstallation

For others it mentionms downloading the release from
http://shibboleth.net/downloads/identity-provider/latest

I'd try to get that fixed then, instead of trying to build the
software from source and then running the installer.
Maybe you'd like to provide more details on what specifically you did
during install, as well as specifics of your deployment?
