Setup fails to build

[lpinner]

As a workaround to #304 (http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/304) I’m trying to build the OSGeo4W installer with a modified manifest (<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"). I’ve followed the instructions in http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/SetupDevelopment and tried to build with an unmodified svn checkout of the setup source and a completely fresh cygwin with all toolchain requirements installed but I fall at the first hurdle:

$ pwd /cygdrive/C/OSGeo4W/setup $ ./bootstrap.sh Running bootstrap.sh in libgetopt++ autoheader-2.68: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in autoheader failed Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct before you can develop on this source tree

Sorry, didn't format output as as code block:

$ pwd
/cygdrive/C/OSGeo4W/setup

$ ./bootstrap.sh
Running bootstrap.sh in libgetopt++
autoheader-2.68: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in
autoheader failed
Autotool bootstrapping failed. You will need to investigate and correct before you can develop on this source tree

I had partial success downgrading some of the cygwin dev packages. Could someone with a working build toolchain please let me know what versions of the packages they have installed?

Devel
    autoconf
    automake
    bison
    flex
    gcc-mingw-g++
    libtool
    make
    libiconv
    libbz2-devel 

Mingw
