I don't know about the details in Windows, here, so I'll let Helmut help 
you with this.

This means that either wxpython is not installed, or that wxversion is 
not in the path. It should be available in the osgeo4w installer. Check 
whether it is installed.

Ok, then you have to either solve the compilation errors (maybe you can 
send us the error.log of trying to run make in one of the directories 
which failed), or disable compilation by (I think - but am no expert in 
MS Windows compilation - Helmut, can you confirm ?) erasing the line

--with-liblas=$PWD/mswindows/osgeo4w/liblas-config

from ./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh.
