For what it's worth, it might be useful to check the buildbot's environment.  For example, if you visit https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-master/waterfall then select the stdio link of the step of interest for the most similar buildbot to your system, you can check that buildbot's environment and output to see how it compares with your own.

Take Windows Server 2012 R2 x64, Build 3878 for example:

    -> ran CMake stdio: https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-master/builders/Windows%20Server%202012%20R2%20x64/builds/3878/steps/compile/logs/stdio
    -> compiled with MSBuild stdio: https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-master/builders/Windows%20Server%202012%20R2%20x64/builds/3878/steps/compile_1/logs/stdio

Hope that helps?  If not, I have a couple of batch files that I use to help me set up the environment and to build Wireshark that I could probably share?

One last tip to try is to remove Cygwin from your %PATH% prior to running cmake.  For me, having Cygwin in the %PATH% causes problems, so I remove it.
