Unable to find "hdf5dll.lib"

Hi,
I've been trying to install HDF5-1.8.16 on Win64, and have hit a road-block. I've tried installing the library with msi, as well as by building from sources (using cmake). In both attempts, the build process does not create "hdf5dll.lib". The build process should have created this shared lib, but with either of these methods, the required lib is not generated. Is there something that I'm missing?
This is the command that I'm using for building with sources :cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" ..\cmake --build . --config "Release"
This shared lib is one of the core dependencies for building a Python module (Pytables). Please instruct.
Thanks,Rohit

The "dll" part of the name was dropped a few releases ago. hdf5.lib is the
import library for hdf5.dll. libhdf5.lib is the static library.
